Apostle Suleman responds to challenge from witches group to heal COVID-19 patients

Apostle Suleman Apostle Suleman

Apostle Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries has reacted to a challenge from the Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AFAW) who promised to give him a thousand dollars for every COVID-19 patient he heals.

Recall that Apostle Suleman had asked the Federal Government to give pastors permission to visit isolation centers where COVID-19 patients are kept so that they can heal them.

In a statement made available to newsmen, the founder of the Nigerian Humanist Movement, Leo Igwe, challenged Apostle Suleman to heal just one COVID-19 patient.

In response, Apostle Suleman described Leo Igwe as a poor person. He also stated that some COVID-19 patients have already been healed.

He tweeted: "A certain Leo Igwe says I should heal covid19 and get a 1000 dollars. I will send you the details of those already healed..so you can investigate. I am not the healer, God is. To mention 1000 dollars shows you are broke and poor..keep it..you need the money than me.

"Normally I won't reply critics but the website he uses has been constantly writing against me for 3yrs non-stop, all kinds of stories. Also, I feel so ashamed to see some Christians joining the world to attack itself. Not in my time. Jesus Christ called Herod a fox (Luke 13.32.).

"A pastor speaks for the oppressed and gets arrested, you are silent. He feeds the hungry, you are silent. He employs hundreds of jobless folks you are silent yet you claim to be a Christian. He replies critics and you are quick to say he should behave like a man of God? Hypocrites.

"For those who say christ never replied critics, you don't know scriptures. Matthew 12.24-27, Lk 13.31-32..he replied when necessary. I am not of the stock of pastors that keep quiet when you attack pastors. You 'ridicule' and expect us to keep quiet..some silence means consent".
