Evangelist Ebuka Obi responded to accusations of a staged miracle with the ailing actor John Okafor, best known as Mr Ibu.
It was previously reported that a traditionalist came forward, alleging that Mr Ibu had engaged in a fabricated miraculous display at Zion ministry.
During one of his recent prayer sessions, the preacher spoke about how Mr Ibu attended his church with a woman whom he claimed was his friend.
A Nigerian evangelist, Ebuka Obi, has addressed allegations of working with the sick actor John Okafor, also known as Mr Ibu, to display a fake miracle in his prayer centre, Zion Ministry.
Recall that a traditionalist accused Mr Ibu of fooling the people with a phoney miracle at Ebuka Obi’s church. The traditionalist was pleased by the actor’s leg amputation, which he blamed on his dishonesty.
He said he did not know who the actor was because he didn’t watch films. He only realised Ibu was famous when people noticed him inside the church. He also denied claims of inviting Mr Ibu to his church.
Ebuka Obi said Ibu never asked for healing prayers from him or testified on Zion Ministry’s altar about the supposed miracle.
He said Mr Ibu only complained about financial challenges, so he gave him some money.
The preacher lamented the many false narratives about him created to garner views, comparing his situation to that of Pastor T.B. Joshua.
