The family of the late Deborah Samuel has cried out that they are in dire need of assistance as things are not rosy for them in Port Harcourt.

Recall, on May 12, 2022, Deborah, a female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto State was killed by Islamic extremists over blasphemy allegations against Prophet Mohammed.

The 200-level student was set ablaze after she reportedly advised her classmates against posting religious contents on their WhatsApp group which was created for academic purposes.

OPM’s pastor, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere promised to relocate late Deborah’s Dad, mum and siblings to Port Harcourt after her sad demise.

In a Facebook post that trended 11 months ago, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) offered them a new life.

He offered to place them in one of OPM’s free estates where they won’t have to pay rent forever, among other things he promised.

Just recently, the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) recently visited Deborah’s family in PH and found out that the reverse was somewhat the case.

In a detailed report, FIJ spoke with Deborah’s parents and learnt that the apartment was not free of charge.

Late Deborah’s dad said.

“From time to time, the OPM leader used to call to check on us. He paid the rent. Right now, the rent for this apartment has expired.

“The landlord has told us to renew the rent or leave. “All the appliances and the equipment in this apartment belong to OPM, we don’t own it,”

The man cried out that he is in need of a job as they had to let two of their oldest children return to their villages so they can cater for the remaining four kids.

While Mr Emmanuel’s four kids attend OPM Free School, his wife, FIJ confirmed that his wife, Alheri’s shop handed to her by OPM was empty.

The family further lamented that they have been left alone.

Alheri, late Deborah’s mum said;

“I really wanted to return to Niger State because there is no support here. It isn’t about money, no member of OPM comes here to pay us a visit. Since we’ve been in Port Harcourt, none of OPM’s members cared enough to visit us here.

While we were in Niger we were surrounded by loved ones and Christians from different churches.

We just leave everything in the hands of God. I thank everyone who has tried to help us…,”
