Nollywood actress, Oge Okoye, has defended her visit to Alleluia Ministries International of South African pastor, Alph Lukau, who faked the resurrection of a man in February 2019.
The 38-year-old actress posted a lengthy message via Instagram on Friday to explain her visit.
She said that she didn’t usually address false news reports but she was going to address this one, she wrote: “I Travelled to see my mum as usual and she told me how she came across the youtube channel of AMI church and that she’s been following them ever since because of what God is doing in the church through Pastor Alphalukau.
“So my mum wanted to visit the church because of her younger sister(My aunt)who is a cancer patient,wheelchair bound and is bedridden. Due to Mum’s age,I didn’t want her making that long journey from Spain to South Africa so I requested for my aunt’s pictures and promised her that I would visit the church so I can stand in for her as a point of contact.”
She clarified that she visited Alleluia Ministries International in October 2018 prior to the February incident where pastor Alph Lukau faked the resurrection of a man adding that it was not wrong for her to stand in gap for her sick aunty.
Pastor Alph Lukau had stirred up controversy in February when a video of him placing his hands on a supposed dead man in a coffin went viral on social media. After the pastor screams “rise up”, the supposed dead man rises to cheers from worshippers.
