In July 2013, news went about town that a prophet of
God in Oke Aro area of Ogun State serves beer and other alcoholic drinks in his
church. The news report raised some dust then and many condemned the man of God
for indulging in such act.
First Weekly and about seven other journalists went to the temple recently
to observe the service in the church and have an interview session with the
controversial man of God.
Reacting to the question relating to serving beer and
alcoholic drinks to his guests in the church, the General Overseer of “As God
Said, It Must Done, The Temple of The Most High God’, as the church is called,
Seer Blessed Oguguamakwu Dikeh, furiously slammed the journalist that reported
that he serves beer in his church.
“I am really angry at that lady called Chinelo Obogo, (the
journalist that wrote the story). If I see her anywhere, I will beat her. Let
her not cross my way. Please include this in the interview,” a visibly angry
Seer Dikeh declared.
Explaining what actually happened that day, Seer
Dikeh, who claimed he will spend 500 years on earth, said, “she (Chinelo) and
other journalists came just as you came, I asked her and others what I should
offer them as refreshments, my media aide suggested snacks, but I told her that
I am a son of a the Most High King and I must treat my guests in the royal way.
“I asked them to tell me whatever drink they take and
some of them said they wanted stout, others requested for dry gin and I gladly
offered them their requests.
“Even before you (referring to us) leave here today, I
must treat you like someone who visited a prince. I have ordered them to cook
for you and if you want ‘Udeme’ (meaning stout), I will give you. It is that
simple.
“But Chinelo went to write that I serve beer in my church,
what nonsense.” Dikeh said, adding further that, “she ate my rice and turkey
and then wrote nonsense about me.
“Why didn’t she write that in her story?” Seer Dikeh
asked.
“I am saying it again, I will beat her whenever her
path crosses mine. If you know her, tell her. If not because of my daughter
(referring to his media aide), I would have dealt with her mercilessly,” he
stated.
Meanwhile, the man of God, who doesn’t pray in the
name of Jesus, but in the name of God, disclosed that members of the dreaded Boko
Haram terrorist group are messengers of God. “Yes, Boko Haram members are
carrying out the instructions of God,” Seer Dikeh said.
The group has caused several bomb attacks and killings
in the northern part of Nigeria.
