The founder of Omega Power Ministries, Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, has disclosed that his church provides free rehabilitation for repentant kidnappers, armed robbers, and cultists as part of efforts to reduce crime.
In a statement shared on Facebook, Chinyere explained that the programme is funded through tithes and offerings contributed by members of the church.
He said individuals rescued from criminal hideouts are first disarmed, with their weapons handed over to the police, before undergoing a structured rehabilitation process that includes both spiritual guidance and vocational training.

According to him, participants are baptised and properly documented by law enforcement authorities. He added that they are also equipped with practical skills to aid their reintegration into society.
“They are trained in different areas such as furniture making, welding, electrical and electronics, scaffolding, tailoring, ICT, and oil and gas,” he said. Chinyere noted that the initiative has been running for over 15 years and has contributed to crime reduction, with many beneficiaries abandoning criminal activities for lawful means of livelihood.
The development comes amid renewed attention on the cleric’s humanitarian efforts, including his recent involvement in facilitating the marriage of a nonverbal autistic man popularly known as Aboy to an older woman.
