Witchcraft and Evil Spells Holding Nigeria Hostage, Pastor Enenche Cries Out Against Leadership Silence

 

The spiritual leader of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, has issued a searing critique of Nigeria’s current state, claiming the nation is engulfed in a supernatural grip of darkness. As widespread poverty and economic distress deepen, the fiery preacher declared that Nigeria’s tolerance of hardship stems from more than poor governance; he insists it is a reflection of spiritual bondage.

In a passionate outburst shared through his official X platform on Thursday, Dr. Enenche lamented the silent suffering of millions. He described a nation numbed by invisible chains that prevent citizens from standing against systemic failure and cruelty. According to him, the continued endurance of worsening conditions without resistance can only be explained by an evil force at work.

“There’s a blanket of sorcery and darkness over this nation,” he stated, “an evil spell making people tolerate what should provoke outrage.”

Worsening economic conditions are not merely statistics for the cleric; they have become a visible reality confronting him daily through the experiences of his congregation. Following church services, he disclosed that long queues now form—not for altar calls or spiritual matters, but for help with rent, school fees, food and urgent medical expenses. To him, the church has become a refuge for basic survival in a country where the social safety net has crumbled beyond recognition.

“People are suffering. Pastors are drained. Members now queue after service not for prayer, but for help,” he wrote, describing how the burden of national hardship has shifted to the church.

Dr. Enenche further condemned the leadership of the country, accusing those in power of operating in detachment and indifference to the realities of the common man. He painted a damning picture of a leadership class that appears to be unbothered while citizens sink further into despair.

“Yet, the leaders act as though nothing is wrong,” he said, calling this behavior “not normal” but a symptom of a nation under dark spiritual forces. He termed it “witchcraft” and “a spell of patience in captivity.”

He did not stop at diagnosis but called for divine intervention to break the grip of evil over the land. The cleric, known for his bold prophetic declarations, prayed for judgment against those who inflict suffering with arrogance and mock the agony of their people.

“Let every evil spell over this land be broken,” he declared. “Let those misruling with arrogance and mocking the people’s pain face divine judgment. They shall not see the celebration of their wickedness.”

Dr. Enenche’s comments come at a time when frustration with the country’s economic direction continues to mount. Inflation, currency depreciation, fuel subsidy removal and rising cost of living have combined to create a harsh climate for millions of Nigerians. Basic necessities have become luxuries, and the average household struggles to maintain access to food, education and health services.

Despite these realities, widespread protests have remained limited and scattered. This silence, the pastor suggests, is not due to apathy but rather a spiritual atmosphere that numbs the will to resist.

Observers familiar with Dr. Enenche’s ministry describe him as a voice that often speaks to both the spiritual and socio-political dimensions of Nigerian life. His words this time around have reignited conversations about the spiritual undercurrents that many believe influence national progress or stagnation.

He did not offer any political solution in his post, focusing instead on spiritual emancipation and awakening. His message seemed targeted at both citizens and the clergy, urging them to recognize the supernatural forces at play and seek divine liberation from invisible chains.

The preacher’s emotional tone and spiritual framing of Nigeria’s crisis have resonated with many who share similar frustrations. On social media, his words have sparked debates about the role of faith leaders in holding political systems accountable, especially when institutional mechanisms appear compromised or ineffective.

As Nigeria grapples with its complex challenges, voices like Dr. Enenche’s continue to bridge the gap between religious influence and national discourse. Whether his message is interpreted as a prophetic revelation or a symbolic expression of anguish, one thing is clear: the call for both divine and civic awakening is growing louder.
