A group of prostitutes have reportedly beaten a man of God to coma for daring to preach in front of their premises in Lagos.
Read the full report by Nigerian Defender below:
When Evangelist Mathew of a popular church in Ejigbo, Lagos, decided to carry out the great Biblical injuction that says: “Therefore, go and preach to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you”, little did he know that some aggrieved unrepentant sinners could go the extra mile of beating him silly like a common criminal.
Perhaps, in his many years of carrying out God’s work, Friday, Agust 14, would remain evergreen in his memory, as he met more than he expected from some irate commercial sex workers who believed his sermon within their premises was not healthy for their bed-to-wealth trade.
According to an eyewitness account of the public show of shame, Theresa Okwudili, trouble started for the 36-year-old man of God when he stood at a close range to Golden hotel, Ejigbo, and began preaching to the women of easy virtues and their male clients to forsake their sinful ways and turn to God for deliverance and salvation.

However, when it seemed to them that the preacher was not in hurry to end his sermon and leave, Hannah, said to be one of the most notorious members of the ‘quickie sex club’ decided to take the bull by the horns. “She angrily brought out a bucket of water and poured the man of God.
“As he was still trying to comprehend what was going on, another prostitute menacingly advanced towards him and started pushing him away. He was almost pushed to the gutter if not for the timely intervention of passers-by”, Okwudili narrated.
Providing more insights into the genesis of the brawl, Uchenna Kingsley, whose residence was adjacent to the brothel stated thus: “That was not the first day he was preaching at that place. But he didn’t use to get so close to the brothel premises as he did on this occasion. To me, I believe he overstepped his boundary because he knew the place was an unholy zone; he should have treaded more carefully”.
His usual sermons, according to Kingley were always tilted towards repentance. “Most times, if not all the times, he uses the Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 6: 18-20 which goes thus: ‘flee fornication! Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s’. He uses this verse interchangeably with Proverb 6 verse 32, which also revolves around fornication and adultery.
“These are ladies that resent anything called ‘the word of God’. Most of them even hate God. Their daily business is to smoke, drink alcohol to stupor and finally sleep with any available man for a price. It is their daily routine. Even though if anybody would convert them, as some have been converted, it’s not by forceful preaching and outright condemnation of their evil acts as the Evangelist was doing”, Kingsley further noted.
Although, all efforts to speak with the Evangelist hit the rock, it was gathered that he did not make any attempt to fight back the ladies, whom we were told he described as daughters of Jezebel. “He only said God will pay them back in threefold and left the scene with his audio gadgets and wet body”, the source hinted.

Legendary house music singer, Kathy Brown has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer with the disease spreading to her brain.
The American singer, 63, known for songs including Turn Me Out (Turn to Sugar) and Strings of Life (Stronger on My Own) was diagnosed late last year after being admitted to ICU in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.
Doctors performed surgery to try and reduce swelling in Brown’s brain – with the star currently undergoing a course of radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
Kathy’s daughter Chanta Joyner has set up a GoFundMe to fund medical expenses and monthly bills for the family.
Chanta wrote: ‘As the news is only just sinking in we are already facing the harsh reality of what this means for my mother – not only the physical and medical challenges but also the many financial ones.
‘Like most artists who have devoted their careers to dance music, without being able to perform LIVE there’s little to no chance of earning an income. My mother has poured her heart and soul onto stages and dance floors all over the world for more than thirty years, and now she needs your love and support more than ever.
‘My siblings and I are going to do everything we can to take care of her, but the costs we are facing with medical expenses and monthly bills are overwhelming.
‘My mom deserves the best care and comfort that money can buy. I know that she has thousands of fans all over the world who adore her voice and her beautiful spirit.
‘Please consider contributing to assist Kathy and get her through the weeks and months ahead. The London-based record label ‘Revival’ that she has recently been working with has offered to match contributions up to $10,000.
‘Let’s show my mom that the dance music community really is an extended family who keep each other lifted not only in the good times but the hard times too. Thank you for the love, support and many messages that you have been posting and sending to Kathy. I promise you that she sees every single one, and they mean so very much to her.
Brown originally found fame as the chart-topping lead singer of the group Praxis before having US dance hits on her own.
In 1999 she climbed to #4 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with Joy and in 2004 was the credited lead vocalist on the British act Soul Central’s Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own), a track that samples Rhythm Is Rhythm’s 1989 House classic.
Over the years she featured on dozens of house and club singles.
