Five pastors, including
Pastor Okafor, were alleged to have paid and used same woman with disfigured
arm to perform similar fake miracle.
Pastor Chris Okafor of
Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, also known as Liberation
City,
Ojodu Berger, Lagos has dissociated himself from claims of performing fake
miracle on a woman, Bose Olasunkanmi, alleged to have been paid for the
purpose.
The news of the fake
miracle supposedly performed on the woman with disfigured hand trended on the
social media recently.
Pastor Okafor, while
addressing reporters in Lagos on Monday through his counsel, Monday Ubani,
denied claims that the woman was paid N400,000 for the miracle.
He maintained that the
money given to the woman was to empower her start a new life.
According to the pastor,
“The recent story in a national daily and online platforms that the sum of
N400, 000 was paid to her for a fake miracle is not true.
“The lady in question came
to church like every other person and the said programme through which she was
healed was shown on a live television and there was nothing to hide because it
was not only the woman that was healed.
“The church is not new,
it’s been in existence over 10 years and the members who keep increasing have
experienced the touch of God one way or the other. So there was no issue of
arranging any miracle to anybody”, he said.
On the money paid to the
woman, Pastor Okafor said when the news broke, it was discovered that the woman
had been going to other churches and that when confronted, she said it was
poverty that made her do it and because she is a widow.
