In a video making waves on social media, Odumeje opened up about how he was involved in armed robbery at just 14 years old.

He explained to his congregation that growing up on a rough street in Onitsha, Anambra State, led him into a life of crime and terrorism at a young age.

The pastor credited his mother for helping him turn his life around by leading him to Christ and showing him the path to salvation.

“I was born in Onitsha city, No 3, Nnewi street. And I grew up in a dangerous street. I became an armed robber at the age of 14,” he shared. “I became a terrorist until Jesus Christ arrest me through the help of my mother to change my life… a destroyer become a saviour.”

Odumeje, known for his controversial ways, has often been in the spotlight for his unconventional methods of ministry.

Earlier this year, in March, he strongly warned critics who accused him of using fake powers.

“Do not criticise the miracles that Jesus is using me to do because you want to get attention from people. You can never go free,” he warned.
