OPM Pastor Denies Abandoning Late Deborah Samuel’s Family, Pamela Ephraim Founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, has denied allegation of abandonment by the family of late Deborah Samuel, who was murdered in Sokoto State by a mob of Muslim students after being accused of blasphemy.The cleric rather described the Samuel family as ingrates for what he described as falsely accusing him of subjecting them to suffering even after he had made life comfortable for them.It would be recalled that late the Deborah’s parents had recently alleged that contrary to claims that they were offered a free apartment in Port Harcourt, Rivers State by the OPM founder, the reverse was the case as the landlord of the building had informed them to pay the next rent or prepare to vacate the house.Deborah’s father, Emmanuel Samuel, said; “From time to time, the OPM leader used to call to check on us.
