‘We were misled’: Happie Boys retract rape allegation against OPM founder | #NwokeukwuMascot
News
Matthew Kelechi and Amakor Johnson, popularly known as Happie Boys, have apologised to the founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere.
The duo, who were security guards at a Chicken Republic outlet in Aba, Abia State, rose to fame after their dance video went viral in February 2022. They were subsequently relieved of their jobs by Chicken Republic.
In March 2022, Apostle Chibuzor awarded them a fully funded scholarship to further their education in Cyprus.
However, their relationship with the cleric turned sour after they were deported to Nigeria in June 2023, following allegations that the Apostle had withdrawn their scholarship.
Mr Chibuzor denied the claims, promising instead to restore their scholarship and transfer them to a Nigerian university.
In August 2023, www.nwokeukwumascot.com reported that the controversy deepened when Happie Boys alleged that Mr Chibuzor raped and impregnated a 14-year-old girl.
The boys further fuelled the row by sharing screenshots on Instagram of a Facebook user threatening to arrest the pastor over alleged sexual misconduct.
Mr Chibuzor, however, dismissed the accusations on his official Facebook page, insisting he was a victim of blackmail.
Since then, little had been heard about the matter until Sunday, when a video of Happie Boys at the clergyman’s church went viral.
In the video, the duo appeared at the church with their relatives to apologise for the rape allegation levelled against the cleric.
They said: “We want to apologise to Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere and the congregation. Daniel Ochu and his friend confused us and pushed us into fighting against you. He came through Mezie Abia because Mezie Abia was close to us. They brought out evidence and said we should speak badly about you, and they would uplift us and take us to America.”
He claimed that Mr Ochu deceived the duo by promising to sponsor their relocation to the United States if they publicly attacked him.
In another viral video, Mr Chibuzor prayed for the duo after they publicly apologised in his church located in Doctor Jesus City, Aluu, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
According to him: “For two years he promised to send them to America, but he abandoned them after using them to draw traffic to his page. Just because he begged HRM King Apostle Chibuzor for financial assistance and the man of God refused, he turned to blackmail and lies. But today, 14 September 2025, the Happie Boys came with their parents to OPM church, begging HRM King Apostle Chibuzor for forgiveness and exposing the nurse assistant claiming to be a doctor and all his lies.
“This fake doctor has defrauded many Nigerian youths and collected money from them, promising American visas. By tomorrow morning, we shall be writing to ICE in America to deport him the way the Happie Boys were deported back to Nigeria. As soon as he arrives in Nigeria, he will be arrested and jailed for all the atrocities he committed against Nigerian youths. Only a heartless man will rob the poor instead of helping them.”
Additionally, Mr Chibuzor challenged Mr Ochu to present anyone he had genuinely assisted to travel abroad.
He maintained that Mr Ochu had never supported him or any member of his family, yet went on to promise assistance to the Happie Boys.
“He asked me to support his NGO. I said I’m already running free schools, why will I give you money? Because of that, he launched an attack since I refused to support him.
“OPM is running the biggest NGO in the world, with 37 free schools and free hospitals. You are just a content creator who wants me to give you money, are you normal? Do you have mental problems? He then started recruiting people to attack the church and to attack me,” Mr Chibuzor said.
