Alilu urged Komaiya to refrain from making Christianity a laughing stock, saying that it is because of false teachings like his that gives people like Omoyele Sowore the impudence to insult and make mockery of Christianity and men of God.
Pastor Komaiya, who is a more wealthy pastor than Alilu, did not take the accusations likely, as he involved the Nigerian police immediately.
Apostle Alilu was thereby arrested by men of the Nigerian police on the request of Pastor Komaiya on Friday, March 21, 2025.
The news has sparked reactions from lots of netizens, with many accusing Pastor Komaiya of using his affluence to oppress another clergyman.
Other people condemned Apostle Alilu for insulting his fellow in public instead of discussing it with him privately.
