A plan by the Boko Haram terrorist sect to bomb Prophet T.B. Joshua’s church in Lagos, southwestern Nigeria, has been averted.
A
member of the dreaded sect made the confession on Sunday at the
Synagogue Church Of All Nations, SCOAN, in Ikotun area of Lagos.
He said five of them were on a mission to bomb the church.
In
a broadcast beamed on Emmanuel TV, the suspect said: “My name is
Mustapha. I come from Yola, Adamawa State. I am a member of Boko Haram.”
The confession sent the congregation into an uproar.
“Boko Haram is a cult. We have killed many souls,” he said.
Probed
further about the process through which he joined Boko Haram, Mustapha
said: “When I joined this cult, they wrote something with Arabic
Language. After writing it, they washed it and I drank it. That is the
day I had the mind to kill souls.”
Asked by T.B. Joshua as to his intention of being in the church, he explained it was his first time in Lagos.
“We
were five in number. We dropped at the junction opposite the church.
There was a man who used to sell something opposite the church here. He
is selling sweets, soap and cigarettes. I met the man and asked him to
help me keep the bag I was carrying. It contained some instruments –
bombs, to destroy people.”
But Mustapha said the local trader refused to collect the bag.
“We
decided to sit down and eat before going on our mission here. Our plan
was to take souls, to destroy at this Synagogue Church.”
The Boko
Haram member explained that activating the bomb was a matter of joining
wires, adding that they had the ability to time the bomb.
“We can
set it to explode in one minute or ten minutes. We planned to set it for
five minutes and immediately leave the place. All the souls will go.”
However,
whilst sitting down to eat with his colleagues at a restaurant opposite
the church in Ikotun-Egbe, Mustapha recounted a strange incident.
“They
brought food for us and we were eating. At that place, they had
television. We were watching the television and discussing. It was
Emmanuel TV – I saw you (T.B. Joshua) preaching to people”.
He
continued: “By the time you prayed and laid hands on the screen, it was
like you were there with us and you joined our midst. As you laid your
hands on the screen, you laid your hands on our face. That was when
confusion came between us; everybody scattered.
“Since that day, I
wanted to go home but I am not fit. Any time I lie down, I will be
seeing you (T.B. Joshua) in my dream. You are disturbing me. I don’t
know what I did to you. The thing is bothering me too much.”
When
asked to explain further, Mustapha revealed: “In my dream yesterday, you
told me that the group of Boko Haram would not exist again. I want to
go but I don’t have the spirit to do it again. I don’t sleep in the
night; I always see you. You are disturbing me. You keep praying for me
and laying hands on me. I want to sleep well. I cannot close my eyes
without seeing you (T.B. Joshua). Please, help me.”
Several hours
later, Joshua addressed the issue and brought the young man forward
again, stating that God had warned him of the impending attack several
weeks ago, prompting him to go into intense prayers.
“I have been
in a serious battle for the past two weeks. Those who looked at my knees
yesterday will know that this is what I wore last week,” Joshua stated,
explaining that he wore the same jeans for the past few weeks which
were clearly soiled from prayer sessions.
“It was not a surprise
to me because I have seen it. My mission is to separate him from the
spirit that is controlling him to do that. We are not to fight mere
flesh and blood,” the pastor explained.
Mustapha reiterated his
plight: “I cannot sleep or close my eyes. Even now, I am feeling a
headache because I have not slept at night. Anytime I lie down and I
want to sleep, I will see you in my dream, praying for me and disturbing
me.”
As T.B. Joshua prayed, the Boko Haram member fell violently
on the floor. He managed to get back up but fell again at the prayer of
Joshua.
He then began to vomit some strange substances. Joshua
noticed the tattoo of a scorpion on his shoulder and asked for its
meaning. “This is the tattoo they gave to me in the cult. All of us have
this tattoo.”
Asked whether he had ever encountered such a
scenario before, Mustapha, who explained it was his very first time in a
church, confessed, “We have never failed before. There is an operation
we did at an Airforce Base in Maiduguri recently. Even we went to
Adamawa State in Michika two weeks ago. We have never failed.”
Mustapha was yet to be handed over to the police at the time of this report.
