As the war between a popular pastor, Israel Oladele Ogundipe, fondly called Genesis, and his spiritual mother, Rev Mother Esther Ajayi, continues to linger on, resolution may not be in view according to emerging information. It was escalated by a gospel artiste, Lanre Teriba, fondly called Atorise.
Recall that Genesis called out an elder prophetess, which many believed was Rev. Mother Ajayi based on his description, and this was confirmed by Teriba by his outburst.
In a new video seen by Freelanews, Ogundipe has revealed that he has started receiving calls from suspected hired assassins and kidnappers following Atorise’s ultimatum given to him to apologise to Rev. Mother Ajayi over his outburst.
He stated that he would not be cowered and would speak out his mind in order not to die of depression.
The drama started when Genesis stated that a woman he respected a lot abandoned him when he was in trouble despite the fact that he served her diligently. He continued by saying the ‘woman’ gave a late Yoruba actor, Baba Suwe the sum of N10 million and supported young orange seller who did a cover of Tope Alabi’s song but never bothered to render help to him when he needed it.
While many Nigerians believed it would be in the interest of peace for the prophetess to keep mum especially when her name was not mentioned, Atorise jumped on it and warned Genesis to desist from further outbursts against her.
Mama Ajayi doesn’t owe anyone anything. She is our benefactor. She prayed for you. I want to give him 24 hours to reverse what he has said. I will go to his church and fight him dirty, he knows me well. You can’t talk to an elder like that.
Atorise’s response drew backlashes from Nigerians, who believed his utterances were illegal, unsolicited and unnecessary.
Pator Ogundipe added that he has all the needed evidences of threats and what happened between him and his spiritual mother tucked away with strict instruction for them to be released at an appropriate time in case something unexpected happens to him.
