ATTACK: IT WASN'T EMNAMU WHO ORDERED THE BURNING OF OUR HOUSES- VICTIM CLARIFIES

A Victim of recent attack in Kala'a community, Hong Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Chavalada John, has exonerated the Nigeria Preacher and the President Emnamu Foundation from the attack.

Chavalada, clarified that the destruction was perpetrated by the youth who acted on their own and not based on the order of the President of the Foundation, and Humanitarian Activist, Dr. Emmanuel Musa.

It could be recalled that some youth in Kala'a community burnt down 2 houses on the 22nd December, 2022 following an accusation that the owners practise witchcraft.

After the attack, an online media reported that it was the Cleric and Presidernt of the Foundation, Dr. Emmanuel Musa, who instigated the congregants to kill and burn down the houses belonging to the perceived enemies.

It was also reported that Dr. Emmanuel, ordered the congregants during a crusade which he had organised to kill as well as burn down houses of the said enemies whom he had accused of witchcraft.

But reacting on the online report, Chavalada, who had his house, a car, motorcycle, 20 bags of beans, 20 bags of ground nut and several other property burnt, said it is not true that it was Dr. Emmanuel, who instigated the youth to perpetrate the crime.

Chavalada, a successful business man in the community explained that even before the incident, some people who are not comfortable with his progress in particular, kept on accusing him and calling him several names.

He alleged that the youth burnt his property worth N36.374million without him harming anybody, saying that he became an arch enemy to some people simply because God, had made his business to flourish and nothing else.

According to him, Dr. Emnamu, who has been rendering humanitarian services to hundreds of people irrespective of political, economic and religious differences cannot be so wicked to instigate people to kill and burn the property of people whom he had helped.

He said that Dr. Emnamu, had contributed enormously in improving his living standard and that of his family, and that he will continue to remain grateful to him, saying that Dr. Emmanuel, personally sympathised with him over the incident.

He pointed out that some people accused him of destroying peoples' destiny as well as using charms to run his business and described their allegation as baseless, insisting that such people are hell bent in ruining his business and his life.

Chavalada, disclosed that some people are not happy because of the way he has been assisting people and decided to use the opportunity to terminate his life and that of his of family, and appreciated God for sparing his life and that of his family.
