Renowned preacher and founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, has been hospitalised due to an undisclosed illness.
The clergy took to his official Facebook page on Thursday, June 29, 2023, to share a photo of himself on a hospital bed, accompanied by a plea for prayers.
The post, captioned “Please pray for me,” quickly garnered attention from his followers, who flooded the comment section with well wishes and prayers for his swift recovery.
There was a also a video of him earlier on Twitter collapsing at the airport. It was gathered that he had been wheezing and struggling before then.
Apostle Chibuzor, widely recognised for his philanthropic endeavours, has recently been in the headlines regarding allegations of abandoning some of his beneficiaries, including those on scholarships abroad.
The case of two former security guards, known as the Happy Boys, who were on an OPM scholarship to Cyprus, gained significant traction on social media as they accused the clergyman of neglect.
In response to the allegations, Apostle Chibuzor denied them, clarifying that the Happy Boys were advised to relocate to either Nigeria or the Republic of Benin to continue their education.
