The Government of Zambia has given a Nigerian
pastor, Pastor Augustine Oso Ebosele of Omega Fire Ministries in Lusaka
48 hours notice to leave the country.
The country said it
decided not to renew the employment permit of the cleric because his
conduct has divided the Omega Fire Ministries into two parties.
OFM was founded by Apostle Johnson Suleman.
Chief Government Spokesperson Kampamba Mulenga made this announcement in Lusaka, the
Zambia capital.
Ms
Mulenga said it was feared that with the Pastor’s continued stay in the
country, the acrimony in Omega Fire Ministries could result into the
breakdown and law and order.
She said Pastor Obesele was given 48
hours to leave the country, in accordance with the Immigration and
Deportation Act number 18 of 2010.
She added that contrary to
speculations, the Government has not closed Omega Fire Ministries and
was not against Nigerian Pastors.
She added, “Omega Fire
Ministries Headquartered in Nigeria is free to send a senior pastor to
come and help reconcile the membership in Lusaka. Members of the church
should avoid speculation and remain calm as matters are being dealt with
the Church authority.
