Only in 9ja " Ebola ‘Cure’ Crusade Organised By Nigerian Pastor
A
Nigerian pastor of the Divine Power Pentecostal Chapel appears to be cashing in
on the widespread fear generated by the Ebola scourge.
Rev.
Emmanuel Sampson, whose church is
located in the Isolo area of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital and the only
part of the country with a confirmed case of Ebola, is asking people to come
for his crusade with ‘cocked bottles’ (sic). Given the antics of faith healers,
what the bottles are for is left to anyone’s imagination.
The
reverend’s crusade and language does go contrary to the appeal from the Lagos
state government for religious leaders not to promise healing to Ebola
patients. This appeal was to mitigate against movement of infected people in
search of a cure to churches or mosques.
