Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has revealed that his involvement in spiritual activities began as a teenager, saying he started “casting out demons” when he was 17 or 18 years old.
Okpebholo made the disclosure during a church service at The Votage Church, where he spoke about his early years and his experience confronting issues he described as spiritual battles and cultism.
While addressing young people during the service, the governor said seeing youths standing in the presence of God reminded him of his own journey.
“When I see young ones standing in the presence of God, I remembered at 17, 18, I’ve also started casting out demons,” Okpebholo said.
He said his early experiences shaped his understanding of challenges confronting young people, particularly insecurity and cultism.
“Fighting insecurities, especially cultism, is not a new thing to me. It is something that has been happening,” he added.
