Pastor Fireman talks about his alleged ritual case

Pastor Ofuche Ukoha, popularly called pastor
Fireman by his worshippers at Perfect
Christianity Ministry in Aguda, Surulere area of
Lagos State, western Nigeria, has finally
opened up his highly publicized ritual scandal.
The controversial preacher was in January
indicted for a ritual killing by an 18-year-old
boy who claimed to be a member of his
church. He was subsequently arrested by the
police but later released.
Speaking to newsmen recently, he said: ”A lot
of things written about me then were not
correct. I want to use this opportunity to clear
the air. I didn’t do it. I have never met that
young man before. The story said I was
bundled to the police station. That is not true.
I drove to Panti police station myself. If I was
guilty, I would have ran away. When the young
man was called to testify in the presence of
policemen, he confessed that we had never
met.
“The boy who claimed he washes my car every
day, did not even recognize the colour of my
house when I took the police to my house in
Lekki. How come? Thank God his mother came
out to vindicate me.
“A lot of things have happened to me in recent
times. I have suffered bandits attack,
assassination attempt, even my mother’s
house in Abuja was burnt down but I am not
perturbed because I know who I believed in.
“This whole thing started when I came in
contact with a document which I will make
known soon. The people involved have tried to
prevent me from making it public but they are
wasting their time.”
Brandishing copies from the police and the
office of the Director of Public Prosecution
(DPP), Fireman continued: “From the
investigation of the police, there is nothing to
show that I had anything to do with the
allegation.
“The DPP had also written that I am innocent.
You can go and verify yourself. I am against
killing. I have been in the miracle ministry
since I was 18 and my spiritual father is Dr.
T.L. Osborn. This boy has several cases of
r*pe in Badagry according to investigations,
even the mother came out to testify to that
effect.”
