Eguazu Inyimagu community in Abakaliki LGA of Ebonyi State, has sent away a self-acclaimed man of God, who claimed to have the ministry of removing buried charms and poisons from peoples home. The middle aged man who gave his name as Pastor Joseph Eze of Divine Miracle Church of God, located at Aguiyi Ironsi Street, Abakaliki. He claimed to have been in the ministry for fifteen (15) years.

It was gathered that, Pastor Joseph had lived in the community for the period of two months and one week, and had carried out his charms and poison removal ministry in the homes of some the members of the community, his charges ranges from three thousand five hundred naira to ten thousand naira or even more (#3,500-10,000) depending on the nature of the charm or poison.
   

However, on that fateful day, Pastor Joseph went in search of a house to rent, having been ejected from his former place of abode due to what his former landlord described as unfriendly lifestyle of a supposed man of God, he met one Mr David, a tricycle rider who resides in Mr Ogbonna Nwanga’s compound at about 9:30pm, whom he enquired about the way about of the owner of the building next to theirs, which he ( Pastor Joseph) intends to rent, David asked him, if he did not see anyone in the compound which  he responded in the negative, David then advised him to check again tomorrow morning if he cannot tarry a while, as the owner use to return late from work. Pastor Joseph further asked if there is any vacant room in the compound which Mr David said no, he thereafter asked if the pregnant woman he saw was David’s wife but he said no, that he’s not even married. Pastor Joseph immediately called David into a secluded place and told him that the spirit of God just ministered to him that their landlord buried a charm in the compound and he is using it to sap away the destinies of the tenant, the worst is that one of the tenant will die before December 2018. David, being shocked by such revelation, demanded that Pastor Joseph must go with him to their landlord and repeat what he has just told him. On their arrival to Mr Nwanga’s compound, being David’s landlord, because he is not living in the same compound with the tenants, Pastor Joseph then told the landlord that one of his tenant buried a charm in his compound and that the charm is even affecting the progress of the landlord, David was shocked by the twist of event, and confronted Pastor Joseph that what he told him was different from what he has just told the landlord but the pastor said no, that what he told the landlord was what the spirit of God revealed to him and that the charm was even prepared in Ikwo. The landlord then took them back to the compound and called all the tenants, and asked the pastor to address them. Pastor Joseph then told the tenants that God revealed to him that someone from the community buried charm in the compound. On hearing that, the landlord was terrified and insists that he removed the said charm. He then agreed and asked them to get some items for the work to be done. They searched for items but could not get them due to the fact that it was already deep in the night. The tenants insists that he must not go anywhere until the following morning so that they can get the items he demanded for, and the charm be removed. The landlord invited police and alerted the Village councilor who told them to keep him till dawn.

At about 6:30 am, the villege councilor Mr Chukwuma Nwophoke and one of his men arrived the scene. He was briefed on what happened. After hearing from both sides, he was furious on the dubious act of the said Pastor, having heard how he had duped so many members of the community on the account of removing charm from their compound. He asked the landlord not buy the items he had requested for, as he will not remove anything. He said that he had received handful of complains about the young man and his nefarious act, he immediately ordered the pastor out of the community. He warned him never to set his feet on the community anymore, as he advises his people to be weary of those they accept and called men of God. Pastor immediately packed all his belongings and left the community unharmed.
