Fresh indications emerged recently that an
Ogboni cult group fought over the body of a popular miracle, pastor who died
recently in Lagos.
Pastor Elijah Ireti Ajanaku, the founder of
Christ Victory Chapel International, Ayobo, Lagos died Sunday August 18, 2013.
Before his eventual death, he was reportedly
died, only to resurrect a few hours later. His remains were brought into his
house in Lagos from his hometown of Gbongan, Osun State.
There was a raging belief that the popular
late pastor was a member of Oro Worshippers, as the residents of Ikola Odusi ,
where Pastor Ajanaku lived before his death were surprised early Tuesday
morning when Oro Masquerades went to town perform funeral rites for the departed
pastor.
It was reported that the Oro Worshippers
were heard chanting the name of the pastor throughout the night. The
worshippers, according to a reliable source, marched through the streets of
Ikola Odunsi, Ikola Gbangan and terminated at the deceased pastor’s street,
Folarin Williams Close. They were chanting “Ajanaku lo o di gbere” which
literally means “Ajanaku is gone, adieu !”.
It was also learned that shortly after his
demise, the Ogboni Cult members, numbering
about 27 visited his place and ordered the people to vacate the house. They
left after spending sometimes with his body.
The late pastor’s church members were warned
by the Ogboni members not to progress with his funeral ceremony without
consulting them. This gave them the impression that late pastor could have been
a member of the fraternity.
Prophet Ajanaku is said to be a specially
unique man of God, as his identity and everything about him was shrouded in
total secrecy and mysteries.
Some of the mysteries that surrounded Prophet
Ajanaku’s life was that nobody could trace the story of how he started up in
life before becoming a popular pastor.
It could not also be understood how he
suddenly started speaking English, without being educated .On his miraculous
ability to speaking English, despite the fact that he did not go to school,
Ajanaku had this to say: “Satan knew God’s purpose for me in the world, so he
blocked my father’s heart and made him not to send me to school. But God who
owns my life pretended as if He did not notice Satan’s action. After God took
my glory from Satan, I started speaking English as if I am a University
Graduate. It is mysterious, unbelievable and incredible. I never went to Bible
School but my knowledge of the Bible is amazing”, Ajanaku told City People
Magazine in an interview.
Another mystery about Late Ajanaku was that he
never ate in the presence of people. This made many to believe that he did not
eat. Ajanaku also had this to say about that: “Many say I am a mysterious being
who does not eat. But the truth is that I eat to sustain the body. Angels don’t
have intestines to eat like humans but the moment they come into this world,
they must have intestines to eat like human beings. I eat but I have not eaten
in the presence of any man. Since 17 years that I started my ministry, it has
been so. People have called me names, some say I died somewhere and
reincarnated in Lagos. I am not Jesus Christ. I wonder what they will say when
I started the assignment God gave me,” he concluded.
Late Ajanaku , who was so powerful and
highly revered by his followers was a car freak with many exotic and expensive
cars parked in his Lagos home.
The powerful pastor who never learned
English but could speak it like a University graduate, left behind an unaccomplished
assignment, which is Ido-Ani for Christ. The programme was scheduled for
September 30 to October 1, 2013 in Ondo State, His burial arrangement,
according to family sources comes up in November this.
