PHOTOS: OPM G.O presents 14 flats, a car to Deborah’s parents
The General Overseer of Omega Power Ministry, Chibuzor Chinyere, has gifted 14 flats and a car to the parents of slain Sokoto student, Deborah Samuel.
The cleric also relocated the family to Port Harcourt and promised Deborah’s seven siblings “automatic scholarships”.
Sharing photos on its official Facebook page, the church said the gift was to help the family of the deceased.
Deborah, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, was beaten with sticks and stoned before she was set ablaze on the school premises on May 12.
Although her killing was condemned within and outside the country, there have been protests in Sokoto calling for the release of the suspects arrested over the murder.

The OPM general overseer made the presentation of the house and car on Tuesday when he met with Deborah’s family in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.
The family members were flown in from Niger state to Rivers.
According to OPM, the funds for the house and the car — for “Uber business” — were from the “tithes and offerings” of church members.
He wrote, “In fulfilment of my earlier promise and in honour of the late Deborah Samuel, I on behalf of the Omega Power Ministry relocated and donated a 14-flats-mini estate and a Corolla car, for Uber business, to her family in Port Harcourt.
“The estate was registered in their name immediately.
“May God take all glory and honour. Amen!”
NEWSFLASH NIGERIA had earlier reported that Deborah’s mother, Aileri Emmanuel, had said that she would never send her remaining seven children to school because of the barbaric murder of her daughter.
Emmanuel amid tears said, “I have no demands; I don’t want anything but one thing I know is that my children will never go to school again.”
The deceased’s father, who was a security guard with the Niger State Water and Sanitation, also lamented that he used his whole savings to send his eldest child (Deborah) to school.
Chinyere had earlier in March offered scholarships to two Nigerian security guards who were sacked after being seen dancing during work hours in a viral video.
The security guards, known as The Happy Boys, have since travelled out of the country for studies.
