Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev Emmanuel Chukwuma has challenged clerics that claim to perform miracles to go to a COVID-19 isolation centre and heal the patients.
According to Chukwuma, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed those claiming to be miracle workers as fake.
“I have already said people who claim to be miracle workers, why are they not saying they can cure the disease and then go to isolation centres and heal people? This coronavirus has proved that those who call themselves miracle workers are fake. I see no reason why places like Lagos, Abuja and Ogun that have so many of these healers have been recording more and more increase in the number of coronavirus patients.
“All of them and even witch doctors, wizards and babalawos cannot come out to say they have an answer to the problem. It is a big disgrace and it has exposed most of these people; we also believe in healing definitely, but we believe in God’s gradual healing. We don’t believe in deceiving or hypnotising people in the name of healing. So this thing has come to expose them and also some professors and scientists who think they know more. Why shouldn’t there be a research within a short time to develop a vaccine that should be able to stop this pandemic? So it has exposed everybody that we are very much vulnerable,” Chukwuma said.
