TRACKING_____Pastor Chris Okafor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, aka Liberation City, who has lately come under fire for allegedly stage-managing miracles, has debunked the allegation of performing a fake miracle on a woman, Bose Olasunkanmi.
It would be recalled that a story of miracle allegedly performed on a woman with twisted hand went viral after five pastors had allegedly used the woman with bulgy arm (Bose Olasunkanmi) to perform same miracle with Pastor Chris Okafor also been fingered in the story.
The cleric has however refuted the claim by the woman who said she was paid the sum of N400,000 for the miracle. Speaking with newsmen in Lagos, Okafor, through his counsel, Mr. Monday Ubani, said it was necessary to respond to the issue of fake miracle that has been generating controversies.
According to the church, “the recent story in a national daily and an online platform that the sum of N400,000 was paid to procure a fake miracle is not true. The lady in question came to church like every other person and the said programme through which she affirmed she received her healing was shown both on live television and other social media platform, and there was nothing to hide because it was not only the woman that was healed on that day.
“The church is not new, it has been in existence for over 10 years and the members who keep increasing has experienced the touch of God one way or the other, so there was no issue of arranging any miracle to impress anybody. The things of the spirit are purely personal.”
On the issue of money paid to the woman, the church through their lawyer said: “When the news broke out, it was discovered that the woman has been going to other churches and when asked, she said it is poverty that caused it because she is a widow. Upon hearing that, the church that is very compassionate gave her the sum of over N400,000 to empower her in order to live a worthy live instead of going from one church to another as was reported.
“The money given to her was not to procure fake miracle as wrongly reported but to empower her to stop going from one church to another and after her visit to Liberation City, there has not been any report that she has gone to any other church. Liberation City Church was the one she visited last and she also confirmed that she received her miracle there. There is a video evidence to that effect,” Ubani said.Pastor Chris Okafor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, aka Liberation City, who has lately come under fire for allegedly stage-managing miracles, has debunked the allegation of performing a fake miracle on a woman, Bose Olasunkanmi.
