RENO OMOKRI’S REMAND ORDER VACATED; PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE’S ACTIONS CONDEMNED
As authorized representatives of Mr. Reno Omokri, bestselling creator and former Presidential Spokesman, we’re happy to tell the general public that the remand order issued by Pastor Paul Enenche towards our shopper has been vacated by the identical courtroom that initially granted it.
An attraction was filed on behalf of Mr. Omokri by Osa Director and Co, requesting a keep of execution of the remand order granted by the Justice of the Peace Court docket. This attraction was heard on the FCT Excessive Court docket, Enchantment No. CRA/2/2025, the place the presiding Chief Justice of the Peace, Chief Emmanuel Iyanna, ordered the elimination of Mr. Omokri’s title from the First Data Report (FIR).
Nevertheless, we want to categorical our grave concern relating to the actions of Pastor Paul Enenche. It’s deeply troubling and unchristian for a pastor to secretly instigate a remand order at a decrease courtroom, comparable to a Justice of the Peace courtroom, with out even notifying Mr. Omokri. Our shopper solely turned conscious of this order by a gossip weblog, which raises questions in regards to the ethics and motives behind the motion.
Mr. Omokri firmly believes that his criticism of Pastor Paul and Becky Enenche, notably their position within the Nigerian elections, is well-founded. He has constantly acknowledged that if an Islamic imam with a big congregation had engaged in comparable partisan political actions, the implications would have been extreme. Omokri criticized Pastor Enenche for utilizing his pulpit to advertise Peter Obi’s presidential marketing campaign, which Mr. Omokri deems an improper use of ecclesiastical authority.
Moreover, the advocacy for a selected political candidate from the pulpit, together with urging church members to vote in a specific approach, violates the registration restrictions of Enenche’s church, which is registered with the Company Affairs Fee for the aim of spreading the Gospel—not participating in political campaigns. This motion additionally contradicts the Electoral Act and authorized precedents in regards to the inappropriate use of affect by non secular leaders throughout elections.
Moreover, Pastor Enenche’s disparaging remarks about APC Presidential candidate Bola Tinubu, together with casting doubt on his private data, weren’t solely baseless but in addition divisive. Such statements, in accordance with Mr. Omokri, disturb the peace and might doubtlessly trigger non secular strife in Nigeria, a multiethnic and religiously various society.
On the matter of tithes, Mr. Omokri additionally condemned statements made by Becky Enenche relating to the idea of tithing, notably her declare that missed tithes may “delete” earlier tithes. Mr. Omokri argues that this view will not be supported by Scripture and unfairly manipulates congregants for monetary acquire, undermining the integrity of Christianity and deceptive believers.
Mr. Omokri identified the contradiction in urging the congregation to assist a politician who doesn’t even adhere to the tithing practices the Enenche household advocates for. He posed the query: if non-tithing people can doubtlessly develop into the nation’s leaders, what does that suggest for the prosperity of Nigeria?
In conclusion, Mr. Omokri calls on Nigerians to separate non secular and political sentiments and to critically study the actions of people who misuse non secular platforms for private or political acquire. He challenges the Church to uphold its biblical rules and to chorus from permitting leaders to take advantage of the religion for monetary and political functions.
Mr. Omokri is ready to satisfy Pastor Paul Enenche in courtroom ought to he select to pursue additional authorized motion.
