MasterPlace Global Mission has raised an alarm over what it described as a deliberate campaign of doctored sermon clips being circulated online to misrepresent Pastor Korede Komaiya and provoke public backlash against him
The ministry explained that fragments of his teachings are being clipped out of context, merged with unrelated statements, and pushed across social platforms to create false impressions.

According to the organisation, Pastor Komaiya only trends when these manipulated clips surface, often portraying him as saying things he never intended.
They described the practice as deliberate media manipulation rather than journalism or accountability, claiming that bloggers and online platforms comb through archived sermons, isolate a few seconds, and publish them without context to provoke outrage against the pastor.
The statement further stated that Pastor Korede Komaiya has built a respected reputation over decades, especially in Warri and across Nigeria, where he is known for disciplined teaching, sound doctrine, and practical success values.
The church said Komaiya's ministry has been free from scandal, with thousands testifying to financial, spiritual, and moral transformation through his work.
They said the sudden flood of negative narratives on social media is troubling, given his longstanding record.
The church emphasised that the issue goes beyond one pastor, pointing to a wider problem of unchecked social media manipulation that can destroy reputations within seconds.
It urged Nigerians to verify full sermons before forming opinions, called on bloggers to uphold integrity, and appealed to government authorities to take social media regulation more seriously.
Despite the attacks, the ministry reaffirmed its commitment to transforming lives and teaching Kingdom principles, insisting that no edited clip can erase years of impact.

Pastor Abel Damina criticises Komaiya's teachings
In a previous report, Legit.ng disclosed that Pastor Abel Damina strongly criticised Pastor Korede Komaiya after a video surfaced online showing Komaiya declaring that he would never follow a poor pastor.
Damina accused Komaiya of promoting greed and materialism, describing the statement as evidence of a mindset still battling poverty.
He argued that wealth should not be the measure of spiritual leadership and warned that such prosperity-driven teachings disgrace the pulpit.
The confrontation escalated as Damina explained that scripture values integrity above wealth, emphasising that it is better to be poor and truthful than to mislead congregations.
