Pastor Anyebe recounted his ordeal as a former pastor of the church in a post on his Facebook page, highlighting what he saw as the root causes of Dunamis' challenges.
“The current situation is the result of carelessness towards the welfare of the church’s employees and members, not just Dunamis," he said.
He criticised the evolving priorities within many Nigerian churches, describing them as 'religious empires' focused more on material accomplishments than spiritual growth.
“Competition has become their vision, not salvation. They hold programs just to show other pastors their capacity. They boast of reserves in their accounts more than the character development of their members,” he said.
Anyebe speaks on personal sacrifices and alleged neglect
Pastor Anyebe also recounted his own sacrifices during his time at Dunamis, including working late into the night and travelling long distances without support or compensation.
He described one particular incident involving Dr Enenche:
“Each time I went to the house to shave Dr. Paul’s hair after pastor’s prayers on Saturday by 10 pm, I struggled to get back home. Many times, I had to walk from Maitama to Wuse to find a taxi.
“When I got home, my wife would put water in a bowl for me to wash my hands, and I would drink the water after washing Dr. Paul’s hair. We called it desperation for the anointing.”
Anyebe lists senior pastors who exited the church since 1999
Anyebe also highlighted the number of pastors who have allegedly left the church since 1999, citing various reasons, including neglect and lack of support. Among the names mentioned were:
- Pastor King Omudu (exited)
- Pastor Philip Aba (exited and late)
- Pastor Tunde Daniel (exited)
- Pastor Sabo Yaro (exited and late)
- Pastor Timothy Akase (exited and late)
- Pastor Success Akpan (exited)
- Pastor Abraham Kolawole (exited)
- Pastor King Omudu (exited)
- Pastor Majebo
- Pastor Philip Aba (exited and late)
- Pastor Tunde Daniel (exited)
- Pastor Penile Samuel (exited)
- Pastor Ayo (exited and late)
- Pastor Sabo Yaro (exited and late)
- Pastor Paul Oduh
- Pastor Obeya
- Pastor Fidelis Alika
- Pastor Solomon Ipila
- Pastor Hope Johnson (exited and late)
- Pastor Timothy Akase (exited and late)
- Pastor Sunday
- Pastor Success Akpan (exited)
- Pastor Mbaya Yohana (exited).
He questioned whether the church’s founding vision - to 'gather the battered, scattered, and shattered' - was truly being upheld.
“If Dunamis is a place of corrections, why sack pastors for mistakes without giving room for restoration?” he asked.
Pastor Anyebe also touched on the strained relationships between Dr Enenche and some of his former mentors and colleagues.
He expressed disappointment over incidents involving prominent religious leaders such as Bishop Francis Wale Oke and Bishop Asare from Ghana, who he claimed were sidelined despite their contributions to Dunamis’ growth.
Anyebe urged church leaders to take responsibility for the spiritual and emotional well-being of their members and staff.
“It’s high time our spiritual fathers took responsibility. The message of love, forgiveness, and salvation that Jesus Christ gave to the church is no longer in our pulpits,” he lamented.
Pastor Anyebe’s revelations add to the growing criticism faced by Dunamis leadership, with former pastors increasingly speaking out about their experiences.
