Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie has defended popular but controversial pastor, Prophet Odumeje after a video alleging a confrontation between him and some traditional worshippers made the rounds on social media.
In the video that was re-shared by Rita Edochie, the pastor challenged the witch doctors and destroyed the charms they placed on the bonnet of his car.
After the confrontation, the pastor entered his car and wanted to leave, but the automobile did not start and all efforts made to fix it proved abortive.
Rita Edochie later took to her Instagram page to assert that the person in the video wasn’t Pastor Odumeje but someone who looked like him and was mimicking him.

The thespian then lost her cool with the man in the video and slammed him, labelling him an ‘Ape’
She wrote, “Everyone will not bother to come out now to warn and condemn this act by this ape.
“This one has started his own and no one is doing anything to let people know that it’s not odumejeje but just his look alike.
“If anything happens to this goat tomorrow, then everyone will come out and remember unforgiving spirit, 70 x 7.”
She also wondered why anyone would try to make jest of a man of God all in the name of skit-making.
“Please this ape is not odumejeje. there are known witch doctors in the land but no one bothers to make jest or caricature of them on social media but you see misguided individuals, under the false guise of comedy, ridiculing ministers of the almighty god.” Rita Edochie added.
