Media personality Daddy Freeze revealed on The Honest Bunch podcast that he received d3ath threats over a decade ago for criticizing Nigerian Christian clerics.
The threats even extended to his family members.
Freeze claimed that his bold stance against pastors emboldened others to demand accountability from religious leaders.
He shared that his criticism stemmed from his own experiences with church excommunication after his divorce, which led him to study scriptures more deeply and question certain practices.
He said: “After my divorce, my pastor tried to reconcile me and my ex-wife but I told him I wasn’t interested. So, I was excommunicated from serving in church events or sitting in the front row. I felt rejected because Jesus never condemned the woman who had been married five times and was living with a sixth man whom she wasn’t married to. I only had one divorce and my church is treating me as if I committed murder.
“So, I stopped going to church and started reading scriptures in the original languages. I started going deeper and deeper into scriptures. You can’t do that work for one year and any Nigerian pastor would make sense to you. It’s impossible.
“If there’s anybody who has experienced persecution from Nigerian pastors and their minions, it’s me. They called me derogatory names. I had death threats that were transferred to my family members. That was 10 years ago. And the work I did is why you have people standing up today to the church.”
