Pastor Ighodalo claims Cure of the Deadly
Ebola


He is being described as a “controversial
pastor” in some quarters, but he still has
many followers. Founder of Trinity House,
Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, has claimed that he has
found a solution to the deadly Ebola virus,
which has killed no fewer than 670 people and
infected more than 1,000 in Africa.
Following the death in Lagos of a Liberian,
Patrick Sawyer, who flew in from his country
to Nigeria last week, Pastor Ighodalo said he
had a “message of hope and faith” that would
uncover the solution to the highly infectious
disease that is causing serious panic in parts
of Africa, including Nigeria.

The pastor said that God’s “anointing” and the
“living words of Jesus” were all that are
needed to cure the fast killing deadly disease.”
The popular Lagos pastor added that
mere laying of hands on those afflicted
with the incurable Ebola virus was all
that was required to liberate them…
Ighodalo claimed that he was drawing
inspiration from the late Canadian–American
Pentecostal pastor, John D. Lake, who,
according to him, cured those infected by the
virus.

Writing on Facebook, the clergyman, who is
also a chartered accountant, said he could
perform the same feat as Lake who reportedly
laid hands on some Africans infected by the
Ebola virus and healed them.
“Several years ago, the Ebola virus erupted in
Africa, killing thousands of people without
restraint or cure. The medical world was
perplexed. A great man of God by the name
John G. Lake came to the rescue by laying
hands on infected people who were not to be
touched.

“With bare hands, cleaning secretion and
curing every victim, John. G. Lake along with
his Holy Ghost filled team, brought to an
abrupt end to the spread of the deadly virus.
The higher life that put out Ebola in the days
of John. G. Lake will do the same through you
in your day! At the name of Jesus, Ebola will
bow out! Stop the fear! Lake and team are
long gone! But I am here, you are here! We
can save our world! We have the life of God in
us!” Ighodalo wrote in a post on his Facebook
page.

Buttressing his claim that Ebola could be
cured by the simple laying of hands on the
infected individuals, Pastor Ighodalo quoted
from portions of the Holy Bible.
According to him, if he and any member of
his deliverance team laid their hands on those
infected with the virus, they would not
contract the disease.
“And if they drink any deadly thing (Ebola
virus included) it shall not hurt them, they
shall lay hand on the sick (those already
infected) and they shall recover,” he said,
paraphrasing a verse in the Bible.
However, Ighodalo’s claim has attracted angry
reactions from Nigerians accusing him of
misleading members of the public on the
dangers posed by the deadly virus.

In the comments dropped on his Facebook
page, Pastor Ighodalo was accused of
spreading misinformation and falsehood,
which according to them is capable of putting
more Nigerians at risk of contracting the virus.
An enraged respondent, Oyenuga Lanre-Paul,
described Ighodalo’s cure to Ebola as a
“suicidal prescription” adding that the
clergyman should immediately pull down the
post from his Facebook page.
Lanre-Paul dared Ighodalo to embark on a
“journey of salvation” to Liberia, which is
currently plagued with the virus and test the
efficacy of his cure.
He said, “Ighodalo has prescribed his solution
to Ebola virus: laying of hands in faith on
those afflicted with the incurable virus! He
has, however, failed woefully by biblical
standards, by not personally walking his talk:
he should demonstrate his faith!
“Let Ighodalo and his band of followers
embark on their ‘journey of salvation’ to
Liberia and begin to cure by laying their hands
on those afflicted with this virus. This is
certainly a sure deal for him and his followers,
as their success will earn them fame here on
earth and a pride of place in heaven. Until
Ighodalo’s faith shows proof, may I request he
pulls down his post and stop teaching us this
nonsense?”
Another Nigerian, Ruona Meyer, said Ighodalo
should desist from endangering lives with his
said Ebola cure.
“Pastor Ituah! Do you know that this (Ebola
outbreak) is so serious that Liberia made it
criminal to hide patients and refuse to report
Ebola cases? Why are you using your position
to say what can make others refuse to get the
help they need? I am disappointed,” she said…
