Members of the Ekpeye Freedom Fighters, an armed group in Rivers State, have appealed to the founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, to help them abandon their activities and return to normal life.
In a viral video, members of the group were seen raising their hands while appealing to the Port Harcourt-based pastor to assist them in leaving the creeks.
The armed men said they were tired of living in the bush, fighting and hiding from security operatives. They expressed their willingness to embrace amnesty and rehabilitation.
One of the group’s leaders said they trust Apostle Chibuzor because of his previous efforts in helping repentant cultists, militants and former prisoners.

The Ekpeye Freedom Fighters have been accused of involvement in kidnappings, oil bunkering and cult clashes in Ahoada East and Ahoada West Local Government Areas of Rivers State.
Their appeal has reportedly generated excitement among residents of Ekpeye land, with many calling on the Rivers State Government and security agencies to support their rehabilitation.
As of the time of filing this report, Apostle Chibuzor had yet to respond to the group’s appeal.
