What we found
We searched for "Forever Living & Fire Assembly" together with Ughelli and with Nigeria, and found no listing, page or mention of a church by that name anywhere. The results for Ughelli returned only unrelated congregations, such as Living Faith Church Ughelli (YouTube) and an Assemblies of God church on Olori Road (Facebook), plus news coverage of an unrelated incident at an Assemblies of God branch in Ughelli (Vanguard, Guardian Nigeria).
