Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries is done with being in the news. In a fiery sermon captured on video, the clergyman issued a no-holds-barred warning to a young blogger he accused of distorting his messages and threatened serious consequences if it happened again.
- Pastor Ibiyeomie threatened legal and personal action against bloggers.
- He warned a specific young man, saying he knows his family.
- He expressed frustration with members of his congregation feeding bloggers content.
- He insisted he does not want media coverage, “good or bad.”
- Said he’s not afraid to use police authority if needed.
While spiritual leaders often respond to criticism with prayer or silence, Pastor Ibiyeomie’s public rebuke marks a striking break from that norm. His warnings were emotional, personal, and direct, aimed at those he believes have built careers by misrepresenting him. The broader question remains: where is the line between media scrutiny and spiritual sanctity?
As reactions pour in online, from humour to criticism, the message is loud and clear: Pastor Ibiyeomie wants out of the blogosphere. But in the age of digital ministry, can any public figure opt out?
