A controversial blogger and content creator, Mr Chizorom Harrison Ofoegbu, who is also known as Ijele Speaks is in a fresh round of trouble.
Ofoegbu was granted bail several weeks ago after he was charged in court with threat to life against the Spiritual Director of Zion Prayer Movement, Evangelist Ebuka Obi.
With the bail, the matter with the Evangelist appears to be in limbo as he did not show up in court on Friday when the case was scheduled.
However, he is embroiled in another battle as he is billed to appear in an Awka High Court in Anambra State for defamation and cybercrime against the founder of Living Christ Mission, Rev. Prof. Victor Onukaogu, popularly called Daddy Hezekiah.
The blogger is alleged to have defamed Daddy Hezekiah by releasing a video in which he accused the church leader of sexually molesting and abusing young girls in his church.
“This man is evil. He is one of the bunch of criminals that destroyed Igbo land”, he stated in the video. He also described the recent celebration of 40 years anniversary of the Living Christ Mission as “40 years of this criminal molesting people’s children”.
Also, Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Church has a petition against Ijele pending with the National Cybercrime Centre for the blogger’s threat to kill the pastor and his family.
Ijele had also released videos in which he threatened to eliminate prominent church leaders including Enoch Adeboye, David Oyedepo, Johnson Suleman and Jeremiah Fufeyin.
He is also known to have courted the ire of members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in another video in which he said he castigated the group’s leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and said he should be left to die in detention.
It is yet to be seen how Ijele will navigate through the many court cases and the numerous battles he is stirring up.
