A former employee of Pastor Lazarus Muoka, the General Overseer of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement, Mr. Dike Atuenyi has petitioned the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos over the threat to his life by his former employer for demanding his 13 years unpaid salaries.
Mr Atuenyi who spoke to some journalists over the weekend alleged that some people called him with hidden numbers and threatened to deal him if he does not withdraw the case against pastor Muoka and that they already have his picture and residential address.
Mr Atuenyi had in a petition to the AIG, zone 2 dated 31st January, 2023 through the Ambassadors for Peace and Enlightenment Foundation, APEF, a human rights organization alleged that Pastor Muoka had asked him to resign his appointment with the Lagos state ministry of transport to head the transport department of the ministry with an appointment letter dated June 10th , 2009 with the promise to pay him twice of what he was paid at the Lagos state ministry of transport.
Consequently, he resigned and joined Pastor Muoka who never honoured his promise. According to Mr Dike, each time he asked for his salary, Pastor Muoka would tell him that he had great plans to establish him in a big way and that he should relax, and never paid him a dime until he left the place in November, 2022 to demand for his unpaid salaries.
Mr Atuenyi further stated that sometime in January, 2023, he was invited by pastor Muoka following the intervention of Ambassadors for Peace and Enlightenment Foundation, APEF, a human rights organization he cried to for help for settlement of their differences but to his amazement, he got the most fearful and terrifying threats to his life, to the extent that he was repeatedly told to go and enquire about the whereabouts of Juliet, popularly known as One man mopol (a deceased member of the church who was murdered shortly after she collided with pastor Lazarus Mouka).
As if that was not enough, Pastor Muoka challenged him to take the matter anywhere that he would regret taking such a step, a conversation which was captured on record.
While Mr Atuenyi was still working with Pastor Muoka, he was involved in two ghastly accidents at different occasions and the two vehicles (A 4 Matic Mercedes jeep and a Sienna) destroyed beyond repair which pastor Muoka promised to replace but never did.
Mr Atuenyi is now demanding N100m (One hundred million naira) and a replacement of his two vehicles by pastor Muoka.
To this regards, a petition was submitted to Zone 2 Command and approved for the commencement of investigation, See excerpts below:
31st January, 2023.
The ASSISTANT INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE

Dear Sir,
RE: PETITION AGAINST PASTOR LAZARUS MOUKA THE GENERAL OVERSEER LORD’S CHOSEN CHARISMATIC MINISTRY FOR DURESSS AND THREAT TO LIFE OF MR. DIKE ATUENYI..
We are AMBASSADORS FOR PEACE AND ENLIGHTENMENT FOUNDATION a human right organization incorporated under the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria, saddled with safeguarding the human and civil rights of every citizen. Our humble representation is for MR. DIKE ATUENYI hereinafter referred to as “our client” and on whose instructions we cause this petition to issue.
Our client was a transporter, a then member of Lord’s Chosen Church and a law abiding citizen of the country who goes about his daily activities ensuring peace and order in the society and particularly in the places where he worked, however there is an ongoing circumstancearound him emanating from Pastor Lazarus Mouka and his cohorts which he feels threatened, hence, this petition.
It is our client’s complaint that sometime in 2009 while working with the Lagos State ministry of transport and was earning as much as N350, 000 (Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) monthly, that he was contacted by pastor Lazarus Mouka to come work for him and rejuvenate his transport business as all his fleets had broken down which was bad for business. Our client said he turned down the offer but pastor Lazarus Mouka persisted and promised to double whatever he was earning from Lagos State Government. He consequently accepted the offer and was thereafter employed. A copy of the employment letter is hereby attached.
That he worked for several months without been paid, when he makes request for his salary, pastor Lazarus Mouka will tell him to relax, but when he noticed the antics of pastor Lazarus Mouka, he decided to quit the job and recover the monies already earned and deserved but all efforts to recover same proved abortive.
It is his further brief that sometime in January, 2023, he was invited by pastor Lazarus Mouka for settlement of their differences but to his amazement, he got the most fearful and terrifying threats to his life, to the extent that he was repeatedly told to go and enquire about the whereabouts of Juliet (a deceased member of the church who was murdered shortly after she collided with pastor Lazarus Mouka). As if that was not enough, our client was told to take the matter anywhere that he would regret taking such a step. Well unfortunately for pastor Lazarus Moukaand fortunately for our client, the conversations were recorded. An audio record of the threat will be presented on request.
On the whole, this petition is for a passionate appeal to the office of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, to speedily use the force of law to ensure that pastor Lazarus Mouka is thoroughly investigated and made to pay our client the sum of N100m(One hundred million) summing up the total of his salary from June, 2009 to November, 2022 and to ensure no harm befalls him, that Justice is served in the interest of our client which singular act of discipline we are very sure would serve as a deterrent to the likes of pastor Lazarus Mouka at large.
Yours faithfully,
FOR:AMBASSADORS FOR PEACE AND ENLIGHTENMENT FOUNDATION.

Mr. Dike has since lived in fear of the unknown as Pastor Mouka had shown a deadly side he had never seen, due to his uncouth utterances.
