…takes responsibility for children’s feeding, education
Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, founder of the Omega Power Ministries (OPM), has reportedly banished a man from his community, Ikuorie Ohanku in Ukwa East LGA of Abia State, for 10 years following allegations that he impregnated his biological daughter.
Chinyere disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, November 12, 2026, explaining that the decision followed an investigation which allegedly established that the man was responsible for his daughter’s pregnancy.
The cleric said he was unhappy about taking such a drastic measure against a member of the community but maintained that he had no other choice under the circumstances.
He, however, expressed greater concern about the welfare and future of the pregnant girl and the child she is expecting, particularly the social and psychological implications of the alleged incest.
According to him, abortion was not an option, as he was opposed to terminating the pregnancy.
He also raised concerns about the identity and future of the unborn child, noting that the situation could create a difficult social reality for the child, who would have the same person as both father and grandfather.
“Your grandfather is also your father. How does that sound? How will the community look at that child, because everyone in the community knows this story?” he queried.
Chinyere said the incident had placed him in a difficult position, especially as the entire community was already aware of the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy.
He disclosed that youths in the community escorted the man out following the banishment, which is expected to last for 10 years.
In a humanitarian gesture, the OPM founder said he had taken responsibility for the feeding and education of the man’s other children, who would be affected by their father’s absence.
He added that he would provide monthly financial support for their upkeep throughout the period of the banishment.
The cleric did not disclose the identity of the man and the age of the daughter.
The development has raised concerns about incest, the protection and welfare of the girl, the rights of the unborn child and the need for appropriate intervention by relevant authorities.
