Omolehin said he has been unable to return to his residence or ministry camp in Idofian, Ifelodun Local Government Area, after security operatives warned of a possible attack, PM News reports.

“I have a house I can’t enter. I have a car I can’t ride. I have to hide myself from the public. If I sleep here today, I’ll sleep somewhere else tomorrow. I’m homeless with my wife and children,” he said.

Rev Omolehin shares ordeal at hands of bandits

According to The PUNCH Newspaper, the cleric said police officers arrived at the camp on May 31 and ordered residents to evacuate following intelligence about an impending attack.

More than 100 people reportedly fled, including vulnerable residents receiving care at the facility.

“The school cannot open, the hospital is not functioning, and the patients and nurses all ran for their lives,” Omolehin said.

He added that the suspected attackers later arrived but found the camp deserted.

Omolehin said requests had been sent to the police, the Department of State Services and Kwara State Ministry of Social Welfare seeking approval for residents to return.

He also alleged that his hometown in Kogi State was attacked days later, resulting in deaths.

While the camp’s buildings were not destroyed, he said thieves later broke in and stole belongings.
