In the video, Rev. Omolehin said Dr Ukpai told him of a Nigerian village where a missionary was reportedly killed.
He said the missionary placed a curse on the village and raised his hand before he died.
The story goes:
"I visited a friend of mine, Uma Ukpai. Some of you possibly may be hearing of Uma Ukpai. He is a Nigerian evangelist. He is very old now. He told me of a village in Ebonyi state. The missionaries that were sent there, initially white missionaries that were sent there, they drive them away. The last one, they drove him and he refused to go and they said okay, we will kill you. So, eventually he agreed. He said 'I use the name of God to beg you, I will leave. I will go to another place.' They said 'no you should have left since.' So they took him outside the town, and carried stick to break his skull. And he raised up his hand and said, 'I have used the name of God to beg you, and you refused. If you kill me, nobody in this village will rise above a labourer forever."
Uma Ukpai invited to pray for village
He said that after the missionary placed the curse, people from the village started experiencing backwardness.
The curse continued to manifest until the leaders of the village decided to invite Reverend Uma Ukpai to pray for them.
According to the story, the curse was eventually lifted after the prayers.
The story continues:
"After Uma Ukpai prayed. He removed his shoes and knelt down and prayed and asked God to overlook and pleaded the blood of Jesus over the village. And left. He told me that after that, it wasn't long, they invited him to come and do thanksgiving and celebration."
