A self-styled prophet, David Nyong Okon, founder of The God of A Stainless Hand International, and The Land Of Settlement Fellowship also known as ‘Isong Utip Abasi Afia Ubok’ which loosely stands for “the land of reward from God’s clean hands,” or “the land of reward from the God of justice” in Efik is currently cooling off in a cell following his arrest by the Cross River State Command of the Nigeria Police Force after his punch left a teenager blind.
The teenager, Godsgift Edem Edet, reported to be 19 of age is still recuperating at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, UCTH, after a surgical procedure failed to fix the damage done to her by Mr. Nyong on Saturday, May 31st, 2025.
“She was standing at the exit of The Home restaurant at Obame Ikoya Street next to Calabar Municipal Council Secretariat when the prophet drove recklessly, prompting her and her friend to query why. She asked her friend who approached them what happened in a language that infuriated him (Nyong) and he proceeded to punch her. He wanted to leave but was held back by youths who insisted he should take her for treatment,” a source close to the family told CrossRiverWatch.
“He eventually took her, after much delay, to a pharmacy along Marian (Ndidem Usang-Iso) road, and when they couldn’t handle it, he reluctantly took her to UCTH where he was rude to those on duty and abandoned her for two weeks until he was arrested last weekend,” the source added.
CrossRiverWatch has reached out to the Police and the family for comments.
