Rev Father Dr. Obayi Paul Martins (Okunerere) has come under attack for carrying a cross like Jesus Christ and subjecting himself to serious flogging after undergoing three days fasting without food and water.

He was said to have endured all these for the sake of Nigerians.

According to Engnr Agbo Vitex, the Facebook user who shared the photos and video, he did it for the prosperity of Nigeria and to liberate the people of God from the devil in this 2017.
