Chibuzor Chinyere, the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries, has offered “automatic scholarships” to the seven siblings of murdered Deborah Samuel.

Deborah, a Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, 200-level student, was stoned and burned on campus last Thursday for allegedly blaspheming Prophet Muhammad.

Her murder sparked outrage throughout the nation, with many calling for swift prosecution of the two suspects arrested in connection with the crime.

Due to Deborah’s brutal murder, Deborah’s mother, Aileri Emmanuel, stated that she would never send her remaining seven children to school.

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, Garba Emmanuel, who is 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.

Reacting in a Facebook post on Monday, Chinyere promised Deborah’s parents jobs and a better life.

The cleric wrote, “I just watched a video clip where the parents of Deborah Samuel said they will not be sending their children to school again. God forbid.

“Anyone with there contacts should inform them immediately that I Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere the General Overseas of OPM Church is relocating them to Port Harcourt.

“They would be staying in one of the OPM free estates where they will never pay rent forever.

“All their children are given automatic scholarships in OPM Free schools.

“I will get the father a job and I also open a shop for the mother.

“Please get in touch with them immediately.”
