Miracle in Gombe, Boko Haram gun failed to fire
Ukpai had been ministering in Gombe, moving from one worship gathering to another, when a young Boko Haram militant reportedly stormed the venue and aimed a firearm directly at him.
According to the pastor, the weapon failed to discharge despite repeated attempts by the assailant.
“I was telling you about my first son who was born cripple. Never you be afraid of problem. Life without problem is useless. We were in Gombe and we went from one worship to another. A Boko Haram boy jumped into where I was and pointed his gun at me not knowing that I carry the annointing that won’t let any gun detonate in my presence. When they fired all their bullets and nothing happened to me, they went to my Chief of Staff and asked him can we beg Oga to teach us what to do and gun will not penetrate us. We refused.”
The account, which has resurfaced following Ukpai’s death, has stirred renewed interest in his legacy and the spiritual experiences he often shared during his sermons. Many of his followers have described the incident as a testament to his unwavering faith and divine protection.
