VIDEO: Anambra police honour Odumeje for ‘being a fearless preacher’

Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, the Nigerian cleric known as Odumeje, has been honoured by the Anambra state police force, zone 13.

The cleric shared a video on Instagram on Tuesday showing the moment he was recognised during a church service.

The award was presented by Emmanuel Madu, the zonal police chaplain and a chief superintendent of police.

Madu said the decision followed “careful consideration,” describing Odumeje as one of the “boldest and most fearless preachers in Nigeria”.

“We deemed it fit, after careful consideration, to honour the prophet of our time, a seasoned preacher who is both nationally and internationally recognised,” he said.

“He is one of the boldest and most fearless preachers in Nigeria. On that basis, our office resolved to recognise him with an award of excellence and to make him a partner of the zone.”

In response, Odumeje embraced the praise, describing himself as a man who speaks with boldness.

“As far as this generation is concerned, I am the man who speaks with boldness. The Bible makes it clear in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, boldness and a sound mind,” he said.

“I have evidence for what I preach: proofs, facts, realities, confirmations, and videos to back it up. I am a war, I am a fight, I am a battle. I am the liquid metal. I am Indaboski.”

Odumeje has long been a figure of public controversy, rising to fame through his unorthodox preaching style and claims of supernatural abilities.

In 2024, he responded to critics who accused him of wielding fake powers by boldly declaring himself “a liquid metal”. (TheCable)
