Pastor Ituah Ighodalo denies saying he has cure for Ebola
Last week, popular Lagos pastor and founder of Trinity House church,
Ituah Ighodalo, was credited as saying he has found a solution to the
deadly Ebola disease and that Ebola victims should not seek
medical attention. Ighodalo has denied saying this, insisting he was
misquoted.
Below is a statement he released yesterday
“It has come to our attention a story published by the Punch
newspaper written by one Temitayo Famutimi in response to a
post on our official Facebook page. The original story was a
message of hope and faith reminding us of the ever living words
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and reaffirming our belief
that ‘with God all things are possible’ , using the John Lake
testimony and written to encourage us never to cease praying no
matter what we or the world may be going through.”
Nowhere in the said story did Pastor Ighodalo make claims that
he had found a solution or that “only God’s anointing and the
living words of Jesus” were all that were needed for the Ebola
disease or that people should not seek medical help and
attention. Continue
In no way did the story suggest for people to act irresponsibly
with regards to any medical emergency including the Ebola virus.
The headline of the story and its contents were clearly written
with sensationalism in mind. In the spirit of good journalism the
reporter should have made attempts to contact the church to
verify his story. This negates the practice of professional
journalism, which we would have expected from a leading
newspaper such as Punch. We sympathise with those who have
lost loved ones to the disease and indeed most other diseases
ravaging our world including AIDs, Cancer and Malaria and our
prayer is that as the medical world continues to look for a
solution to the disease and that our God will provide succour and
encouragement to all the innocent people going through this
trauma and do that, which only He can do”. the statement read
