Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers, of Counties Manukau CIB, confirmed to the Herald police received a report about a “threatening video”.
“The comments were directed towards multiple organisations and people. At this early stage police are making inquiries into its contents. Any reports of threats being made are taken seriously and we will continue to assess these.”
Tamaki this afternoon labelled the meeting and prayers “spiritual warfare”.
He also said he had not been contacted by police about the video.
“Let me be absolutely clear,” Tamaki said, “I have never prayed for a person to be killed.
“I pray for demonic powers within people to be broken, destroyed, cast down and removed. There is a world of difference.
“After more than 30 years of slander, ridicule and attacks against Destiny Church, perhaps it’s time New Zealand realised something: God’s people will not be intimidated into silence.
“This has never been about harming people. It has always been about confronting spiritual darkness through prayer.”
Tamaki had his gun license temporarily suspended in June and his firearms confiscated after incendiary online comments towards other religions.
