Daddy Hezchaia, another prophet in Nigeria has picked interest in Ijele Speaks case, the development was made available by sources close to the embattled social media activist.
Ebuka Obi initially filed a defamation case against Ijele Speaks, after the social media activist accused him of fake miracles.
After a protracted legal case, Ijele Speaks was able to make headway, but faced different charges.
While Sowore of Saharareporters was behind Ijele Speaks and making every move to get him freed from detention, Ebuka Obi and his team were taking advantage of legal technicalities to frustrate the move.
Ijele Speaks had boasted of having the important connections in Nigeria to handle whatsoever case that came his way, but the recent case has shown he is not well connected as assumed.
Sources familiar with the matter told Dailytab24 that Ijele Speaks reached out to certain persons who met Ebuka Obi to see how the matter could be resolved outside the court, but the prophet didn’t yield.
After the initial negative response, Ebuka Obi later listened to the contacts and agreed to soft pedal on the case. It’s unclear if Ebuka Obi demanded public apology, but the sources indicated he was ready to forgive.
The same strategy was used when Mathias Ezeaku was arrested. It took the intervention of prominent Igbo sons to settle the matter outside the court.
Ijele Speaks followed the same strategy but had a new twist to his case.
After Ebuka Obi showed sympathy, another pastor in Anambra State took up the matter and filed new charges against the social media activist.
It’s yet to be seen how the new twist to the case will pan out.
