An insider who worship in the same church as Chef Dammy has revealed the actual reason she fell out with her pastor, Adegoke Jeremiah, a.k.a Billionaire Dollar Prophet.
DAILY GIST reported that Chef Dammy, a Guinness World Record aspirant had raised the alarm over alleged relentless threats and intimidation from individuals whom she tagged “people of God” and her pastor.
In a surprise Instagram post on Thursday, the 300-level Mass Communication student of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), said that she had been threatened and bullied, leaving her living in constant fear for her life.
But an insider in the church said the duo is at war because of money realised from the 120-hour cook-a-thon.
The man said the real problem started when Chef Dammy transferred N700,000 to her family from the money.
The chef was reportedly verbally attacked by some church members who felt unhappy about her handling of the money realised.
According to a report by FIJ, Chef Dammy’s freedom was taken from her after the cookathon.
Her phone and social media passwords were managed by the church, a situation she did not like.
A source from the church said: “She was restricted, as her phone and ATM card were with the organisers of the cook-a-thon. A lot of people couldn’t reach her by phone calls and she couldn’t reply her social media messages also.
She personally told me that she wasn’t enjoying herself anymore and that she wanted to go back to her previous life, where she had her freedom.”
HOW THE PROBLEM STARTED
After the 120-hour cooking marathon, Chef Dammy’s church started preparing for a new cookathon, in which she would also be the poster chef.
This did not go down well with her as, according to the source, she was yet to recover from the earlier cookathon.
“Dammy didn’t want to do another cook-a-thon as she was even yet to recover from the one she had just finished. Her family also immediately rejected that proposal, which got the church organisers angry.
“Dammy’s family were unhappy to hear about the new cookathon, and they reported the matter to the Ekiti State Government. The church was summoned and asked to release Dammy’s phone and social media passwords to her.
Things got to a head when Dammy transferred N700k to her family, as, according to the source, this marked a serious turning point in the crisis between the chef and pastor Jeremiah.
“Some of us in the church who had listened to both sides didn’t join the church to hate Dammy as they wanted. While we were still looking for the way forward, they heard that Dammy had transferred N500,000 to her mum and N200,000 to her elder brother out of the N1.2 million in her own account. The church became angry.”
