Veteran actor, Ayo Emmanuel, also known as Nollywood Policeman, had an exciting experience in his life on October 9, 2016 during a regular service at the Champion Royal Assembly, Abuja, where Prophet Joshua Iginla ministered to the congregation and later gave Ayo Emmanuel a brand new Peugeot 301 car.
The actor was dazed by this and it was evident when he broke down in tears of joy.
In an exclusive chat with us, the Nollywood star described the situation as the biggest shock in his life as he came to the church on Sunday with the church bus, not knowing what was waiting for him.
“I was just coming to church to fellowship and go home to prepare for a film recording someone had invited me to on Tuesday, but here I am today. I thank God for using Bro. Joshua Iginla to bless me, I thank God for using him for the increment he has added to my life. I give God all the glory.
“I came in a public transport (the church public transport) and was hoping to catch up with the bus but here I am driving home in a brand new 301 series car.”
Speaking further on how he met the generous but powerful Prophet, he made it known that he was only invited during one of the annual birthday ceremonies of the Prophet and since then, he developed great interest in him.
“During last year anniversary, we were invited, I mean Nollywood actors so i was one of the actors that was invited and that was my first time of coming to Champions Royal Assembly. Thereafter, i developed interest in the style of worshiping, so i come here once a while because i stay very far away in Abuja.
“Once in a while, i fellowship here, so since last year, after papa’s birthday, I’ve always been coming. I like the style of fellowship, i like his style of socialising and especially his love for Nollywood. He’s about one of the biggest pastors i know who has feelings for Nollywood and a great giver.
“I’ve never seen that before. So i developed the interest and i see a true pastor, the real person that was built to increase, to impact more life into the people.”
Recounting the many helps the man of God has done for him, he narrated how he was duped by one of his trusted friends who disappeared with over N1 million which was meant to get him a car and this led to a serious illness and had no money for treatment after spending a lot, and how Prophet Joshua Iginla helped him out.
“I must confess that earlier before now, I was down, i have some problems like i use to have a car a 406 prestige car due to one reason or the other i had to sell it, added money to it close to 1 million, gave the money to someone I trusted so much to get me a car and the person disappeared with my money. That affected me, broke me down a lot. I was ill, I went to hospital i was diagnosed typhoid, malaria 1& 2 so many issues and in the process I think I was given a drug that later reacted to my body, and I went back to the hospital and day after I was given another drugs which leads to me going for another test and it was during that test they discovered that i did not have enough blood.
“They said it was around 20% because I noticed that I was not feeling fine. Anytime I stood, I could not be upright for too long; I feel dizzy, so i was admitted.
“I had no money and didn’t know where to go to. So i just called Bruno, who happens to be one of the veteran actors here in the church, I told him I was sick and in the hospital that the hospital required some money and the money in my account was not enough.
“He asked me to call papa (Bro Joshua Iginla) and I was reluctant, but I remembered meeting him once and he told me to call him if I had any problem.
“I could not still call him but sent him a text. I also sent to his Personal Assistant and before I knew it, they sent N100,000 into my account, which i used to clear the hospital bills last two weeks and then started attending church activities.”
In addition, he described the Prophet’s giving spirit as one he has never seen before and also implored people not to say anything bad against the Prophet.
He said the Bro. Iginla was someone that doesn’t love to show-off and has done a lot for people he doesn’t know and for that people think he does this only during his birthday celebration or anniversary but that was not the case.
It would be recalled that the Prophet gave N10 million donation to a Muslim acid victim who needed surgical operation to be done in India, the same day he presented to the Nollywood thespian a car gift.
