WITH the dust spewed by the fake healing of a woman with twisted arm Mrs. Abosede Olasunkanmi yet to settle, one of the Pastors seen in the video which went viral on social media, Pastor Chris Okafor has absolved himself from the allegation of inducing the deformed woman with money in order to fake her healing. A visibly agitated revered cleric who spoke through his lawyer, Mr. Tony Ubani said he was shocked beyond bounds after healing the deformed lady and empowered her with a cash sum only to be greeted with other shocking videos of the same woman being healed by other Pastors. According to the founder of the Grace Nation aka Liberation City, his worries became much more heightened after news of the woman’s arrest and confession of faking her healing hit the airwaves. But exonerating his client of any fake miracle and or wrongdoing, Ubani said it was not possible for Pastor Okafor, a highly respected man of God to get himself involved in anything near fake miracles adding that the church only came to the woman’s aid having listened to her plight. The legal icon stressed further that the church was however, taken aback after learning that the same woman was moving from church to church with a view to extorting sympathizers.
His words: “The recent story in a national daily and some online platforms that the sum of N400,000 was paid to the woman to fake miracle is not true. The lady in question came to church like any other person who came for God’s miracles and the said programme through which she was healed was shown on the 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 for 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.
Continuing, Ubani said, “Having watched the viral videos of the woman in question moving from one church to another, my client sent his ministers to look for the woman to ask why she was deceiving pastors. When she was asked she said its poverty that caused it because she is a widow. Upon hearing that, the man of God who is a very compassionate person gave her the sum of N400,000 to empower her instead of going from one church to the other. The money given to her was not to procure fake miracle but to empower her to stop going from one church to the other. After her visit to the church, there has not been any report that she goes to any other church, Liberation City Church was the one she visited last and she also confirmed that she received her miracle there. We did not have any reason to doubt her because miracles happen in the Church always. There is no iota of truth in the story that has been going round about the miracle. Before one even talk about criminality on the issue, there must be act of intention to commit a crime and there must also be a connection. Even if there is any allegation, who is the complaint , is it the woman or any church member, because it seems there is more to the story than meet the eyes .I think someone is out to tarnish my name because all the stories that has been written are one sided because no one asked for the side of the church. We are not denying the fact that some pastors engage in such act and God that we are serving will be the ultimate judge. If you attend Liberation church, you will see for yourself what God is doing through the man of God and if it were fake miracles, it would have stopped working since.
We know there are fake pastors and God will expose them so as to exonerate those who are genuinely doing the work of God. My client is innocent; he has never met the woman in question .She was deceiving pastors .When she cried to the church , the church prayed and she glorified God in the church . It was recorded ,but the church discovered it in videos ,invited her and she said it was poverty .The Church empowered her and advised her to start living right. She promised to live right.”
Recall that Police detectives attached to the Inspector- General of Police (IGP), Intelligence Response Team (IRT) had arrested the lady when her news went viral on the internet. Upon interrogation, Mrs. Abosede Olasunkanmi, a Muslim by faith who claimed to be mother of 4 had told newsman that poverty forced her into moving from one Church to another to fake her healing and get money from sympathizers. According to her, it was one of her old friends based in Ibadan the Oyo State capital, who saw her ordeal that tutored her on her how to make money out of her situation by faking miracles in churches
