The above is the Late Samuel Chukwukadibia Ezenagu, an
indigene of Umuogbu village, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria, who was born to the
Late Prophet Chijioke and Eunice Ezenagu, January 9, 1977. Late Ezenagu is
married to Mrs. Chisom Juliet Ezenagu, and they are blessed with three
beautiful kids. Late Samuel Ezenagu was a committed choir member of Shiloh Word
Chapel Abuja, Nigeria; one of the administrators and advocate of the Church. He
was also part of the media department of the Church and a personal friend of
the founder and spiritual head of Shiloh Word Chapel, Abuja, Prophet I. O.
Samuel native of Nibo in Anambra state.
Mr. Ezenagu mysteriously took ill 5 months ago while
actively working in Shiloh Word Chapel supporting the vision of his friend Prophet
I.O. Samuel. This is a man that advertises himself and his ministry as one
anointed to cure all manner of sicknesses, like HIV, cancers and others, but
Mr. Ezenagu did not receive the healing he so desperately needed, neither was
he taken to any Hospital for medical treatment.
Further Prophet I.O. Samuel, the founder of Shiloh Word
Chapel Abuja, prides himself as a protege/son of Prophet T B Joshua, the leader
of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Lagos Nigeria, hence one would rightly
think that when his anointing wasn't enough to deliver the healing that late
Ezenagu so desperately needed, he would have rushed him to SCOAN for healing.
Did he do that? NO, instead the sick man was moved out of
his home, and was hidden in a hotel room at Top Rank Hotel FCT Abuja, by
Prophet I. O. Samuel and his Lieutenant Mr. Okechukwu (Okwuego) Okafor, with
specific instruction to the sick Ezenagu and his wife not to tell any of his
family members about his condition or whereabout. The said hotel room became
the hospital where they kept him, while they misinformed the entire
congregation about the whereabout and state of his friend and Church member.
According to the wife of the deceased, Prophet I. O. Samuel
and Mr. Okechukwu Okwuego contracted a man who regularly visited her husband
at Top Rank Hotel and administered a special kind of concoction to late Mr.
Ezenagu, during the entire period of his sickness, all was happening without
any medical exam, test or doctors diagnosis or prescription. When his condition
got worse, Prophet I. O. Samuel and Mr. Okechukwu Okwuego, moved late Mr. Ezenagu,
back to his house in Abuja, where he was abandoned and eventually died
Saturday, September 20, 2014.
This sick man that needed a doctor or hospital didn't get
that when he needed it, but when he died, they rapidly deposited his lifeless
body at a mortuary in Abuja, paid and ordered that the body be immediately
embalmed, without the consent of anyone from the dead man’s family, not even
his wife. Why so fast?
We learn that the family of the late Ezenagu were not
notified that their brother was sick for those 5months, furthermore, his three
siblings that live in the USA (one of them a medical Doctor) were not told,
because the prophet had left specific instructions that they not be contacted.
Let’s assume that Late Mr Ezenagu had HIV, wouldn't it have been most prudent
to tell his siblings that live oversees who would have helped with the
procurement of medication and the like, but No, Prophet I.O. Samuel and his
cronies didn't think it was important.
The entire Ezenagu family of Awka, home and abroad has
demanded and are willing to pay for an autopsy to determine the cause of death
of their ward, because according to late Samuel's Sister (the medical Doctor),
HIV does not kill that fast.
She posited that she saw her brother in November 2013 and
her brother wasn't sick and neither did he show any symptoms of the HIV, hence
an autopsy need to be carried out to determine the cause of death, since no
tests were ran on Samuel when he was sick that determined he had the virus and
he wasn't admitted or treated in an Nigerian Hospital for HIV, hence there is
no medical record anywhere to confirm that sickness that Prophet Samuel claims
that the deceased died of.
To add insult to injury, Prophet I.O. Samuel and his Church
have refused the Ezenagu family access to their sons remains and have been
doing everything possible to make sure that an autopsy is not carried out on
the late Mr. Ezenagu, instead they are fighting feverishly to take the corpse
back to the deceased hometown and give him a quick burial, which according to
Prophet I. O. Samuel was the wish of the dead man. The wife of the dead man
refutes that stating that her husband wasn't making arrangements for death or
burial because he believed 100% that he was going to live, after all his friend
and Pastor was a healer that heals all sickness, he was sure they were going to
raise their children together and ultimately grow old with his beautiful wife.
That never happened.
Sunday September 21, one day after the death of late Samuel
Ezenagu, (a personal friend and confidant of the Founder of Shiloh Word Chapel)
a Church insider said that during that Sunday service the so called man of God
(Prophet I. O. Samuel) did not announce the passing of his friend and
confidant, a full and committed member of his church, rather, the man of God
conducted his regular Sunday service, and even celebrated his birthday with a
special thanksgiving mixed with dancing, rejoicing and celebration.
Come Monday, September 22nd, 2014, the so called man of God,
Prophet I.O. Samuel, his lieutenant Mr. Okechukwu Okwuego and their many
allies, started a campaign of calumny to discredit and disgrace the dead man
saying that he died of HIV. Let's assume for a minute that late Mr. Samuel
Ezenagu contacted the AIDS virus, isn't that what his Pastor and friend Prophet
I.O. Samuel brags that he does in Shiloh Word Chapel Abuja, healing any kind of
sickness and disease, that even his website and his many billboards all over
the FCT boast of that.
Wouldn't the simple thing have been to use his hot anointing
to heal his friend, but instead the late Mr Ezenagu was hidden away at Top Rank
hotel Abuja, probably because his inability to be healed was going to be a big
source of embarrassment to this acclaimed healer.
What about his T B Joshua connection, a relationship he
proudly boasts about, shouldn't he have flown his dying friend to TB for
healing with higher anointing, No, late Mr. Ezenagu, a father of three little
children, (with the oldest child, only 4 years old), was left to die. What was
his crime? Why would a supposed man of God play God, Pastor, Doctor, Mortician,
Judge and Jury.
Prophet I.O. Samuel and Mr. Okechukwu Okwuego and his
supporters, as at today, Thursday, September 25th 2014, still denies the
Ezenagu family access to their dead sons remains and are still trying by all
means necessary to move his corpse to his home town Awka, Anambra State,
Nigeria to bury him without conducting an autopsy on him, to determine the true
cause of his death.
Nigerians the blood of the late Mr. Ezenagu, is calling for
justice and that is not too much to ask. He is dead already, but his soul won't
rest in peace until all the parties involved in this elaborate conspiracy
surrounding his death are brought to justice.
Rise up Nigeria and defend your voiceless; Ndi Igbo arise
and ask questions; all Awka indigenes take to the streets and demand justice
for your own, his wife and their defenseless children.

hmmmmm. story story, God is the only healer on the planet. Y is the wife crying now? where was she wen the whole tin started,? she have plenty questions to answer..... God is ur strength..
ReplyDeleteNo two ways about this, the so-called "pastor" should be investigated. Is he a medical doctor?!!!
ReplyDeleteThey should just take d pastor to court
ReplyDeleteChurch goers I hp u're learning ur lessons
ReplyDeleteThe wife does not love d husband bcoz if she do she wldn't hv kept quiet n watch d husband die, for crying out loud is he not her husband or wz she enchanted?
ReplyDeleteThis pastor does not deserve to live
ReplyDeleteThe wife suppose to be question as well cos how can she keep quiet for five months until the young man died. O I Samuel if na true ur hand is involve in our broda's death don't ever enter Awka cos ur name na sorry if we see u in Awka. The late Samuel Ezenagu is a friend and broda may ur gentle soul rest in peace Amen
ReplyDeleteOkoto kari..can't say anytin abt dis but dey shuld ask Pst nd okechukwu bcos de hv an ans to wht really killed d young man..
ReplyDeleteThe siblings should stand up immediately and take action and over d matter . why is d so called man of God still incharge of his remains while his family is there. as for d wife that kept quite and watched his husband died without medical treatment will leave d life of a widow and see if its sweet
ReplyDeleteAlot of 'how come '. Dis story raised alot of dust. Wife why u no tell ur husband pple? Sisters & brothers of Samuel hw come u didn't call ur own blood for 5months. I. O Samuel,are u a doctor? Now he's dead we're all crying over split milk.
ReplyDeleteGod is watching you Mr. Pastor! If you're guilty of the young man's death, you'll certainly suffer for it. No doubt about that!
ReplyDeletemost Pators and churches these days are all out to make money. They are all businessmen. did u c hw d prophet looked like an importer/exporter. The man was probably killed by church politics. And dont blame d wife cos most Nigerians r gullible once these so called "gods of men" twists d bible and preach d sermon to their own favour. Church is d only scam that still works more than perfectly in Nigerian. Most frustrated fellows now find their way to theology schools and then open up a church do some background rituals to aid some "Magic" d so called miracles. And then check out their membership strength and nobody likes to talk about it even when it's glaringly obvious. cos they dont want to offend God. My ppl suffer for lack of Knowledge. That is y we still leave in a very bad condition despite all d churches we have almost in every home now. d western world doesnt go to church, d chinese doesnt go to church buh check out their economies. We hear a lot of ugly stories from d supposed house of God and am afraid dat trend will continue. cos We no long have men of God rather we have "gods of men".
ReplyDeleteWell said bro. You nailed it.
DeleteNa waooo, sam of pple hw can u be dis naive n die off like dat
ReplyDeletedont judge a matter until you hear from both parties...readers beware
ReplyDeleteOk
DeleteSam my classmate what a way to say goodbye RIP anyone behind Ur death will never never go unpunished
ReplyDeleteHmmmm! I don't expect a church led by OKey OKwuego to have much to offer Christianity. Assassins that he owes that came to kill him, killed his elder brother instead in Lagos; his younger brother died a mysterious death after quarreling with him for his money and property in his (okwuego) custody, the sister who gave a passionate testimony at the same Shiloh don't talk with him anymore till date. He is a known cultist, he was a 419ner in Lagos b4 migrating to Abuja. A senior worker Chibuzo of blessed memory died immediately Okwuego become the head of workers in the church. Immediately Sam Ezenagu used his company to win a contract finished and awaiting payment he died. How many blood link to him 4 and some others.
ReplyDeleteMy question to you writer. If your brother, or your sister or child died will you be dancing and celebrating your birthday the following morning. Will you not rather inform your family, friends, cell group whatever, that you should observe a minute silence. Haba! I wish I will be around you when you loose a close one. I wish you will die a Shiloh member and we see how you will be treated. Chibuzor late pastor, the head of prayer warriors, The head of children section Mrs Nzeh, Now Samuel Ezenagu all are treated like trash after their death. You can verify from their respective families. Not one but 4 of them. Ratio of workers death in ShilohwordChapel is 4 worker in 3 years. Check am naaaa.
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy
ReplyDeleteVery sad how a fine man will pass like this, with unfair story. Who are we to blame? Uneducated or unformed, family in crisis, slibing in crisis, misuse of power or misuse of gift? Please Samuel Okafor, allow the Ezenagu family to investigate the cause of the death if you are holding the process, Chisom, (wife) are we going to blame you? I can only imagine what you are going through, confused mind you will be on right now, be strong for your children. Slibing that please get yourself together and be in peace with each other, maybe, the death of your brother will help you all to communicate better, if anyone hand their hand in the death of this fine soul, they will not go unpunished. My heart ache for the mother of this young man.
ReplyDeleteJulia when are you going to post all the comment being posted?
ReplyDeleteI am not here to protect or defend anyone. People are here casting blames and insulting one another. Why can't we live this to God who is the judge? The brother might be in heaven now enjoying with the lord while people are here fighting. What matters in this life is where ur going when ur gone. Come to think of it, the brother died in active service to the Lord, he was also given 5months to repent from any sin committed. Ask urself tjis question, will u be given any chance to repent? Do u know how ur own death will come? We all should ask God for forgiveness of sins and repent than here fighting for a brother that has gone to the Lord, believe or not. Have u served the Lord like this brother did? Remember, he was born into a christain family (that anchored a stronge prayer ) his father was a great prophet, he has been a worker in God's vain yard throughout his life time, have u done any? Life is like a market, some people come early to buy things and go, while others come late and go late but the most important thing is that everyone must go when the market finally close. The brothers death is a big lesson for people that want to learn. Amend ur own life first before it will be too late. Anyone who is not a sinner should indicate it. Brother! May ur gentle soul rest in peace, may the good Lord console ur family, and give ur wife the wisdom.to train the children in the ways of the lord. Peace peace peace my people.
ReplyDeleteYes, what you said is true, but still the living has to take responsibility of things that we do in this world, it is very important to know the cause of death in order to prevent it from happening to someone else in one way or the other. Don't tell us to let it be, and no educational learning wouldn't come out of it, we need to learn from things that happened, not the case that we have been seeing in Nigeria, when a doctor or so call men and women of god, murder people and people like you will say, ok learn from it and move on, what are we learning? That is ok for people to end life and will not answer to it, I am not judging anyone, let God be the judge still we have to take responsibility of our action, so that people will be thinking before any action especially when dealing with each other. Our people are polluted with power. Being an insider, when a you are given responsible as a man or woman of God, rise as humble servant of God, then you allow power and money to control you, it does not end well, look at the track record from generation to generation. So my dear writer , peace to you too.
DeleteWhat is going on with this new, has anything done yet.
ReplyDeleteStop criticizing a man of God,Let God judge, Prophet I.O Samuel is a real man of God, Allow the soul of the departed rest in peace.
