8 kidnappers repent, become pastors

No fewer than eight repentant Niger Delta militants and kidnappers have denounced their illegal activities and surrendered.

The repentant criminals took part in a rehabilitation programme at the Omega Power Ministries.

Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, the general overseer of the church in a telephone interview with the news publication in Abuja on Monday, April 19, confirmed that the ex-criminals are now full-time pastors in OPM branches.

According to Chinyere, the repentant militants turned a new leaf following a divine encounter through evangelism in their various camps.

The general overseer said he took them to the estate, got them baptised, and began to teach them the words of God.

He went on to note that their children have been enrolled in the free school operated by the church, while businesses have been established for the wives.

The cleric explained that so far, at least 10,000 youths have been rehabilitated and reintegrated into society under the church’s rehabilitation programme for youths.
