The Founder of Trinity House, Pastor
Ituah Ighodalo, has made a U-turn over
his claims of having a solution to the
deadly Ebola virus.
Ighodalo had in a post on his official
Facebook page titled “Solution to
Ebola,” stated that mere laying of hands
on those afflicted with the incurable
Ebola virus was all that was required to
liberate them.
The cleric had 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 during
his lifetime.
But in statement to iPUNCH on Tuesday
by his media aide, Ayodeji Jeremiah, the
clergyman said he was only giving a
“message of hope and faith” to those
afflicted by the deadly virus.
According to him, his message of faith to
Ebola disease victims was not meant to
encourage people to act irresponsibly by
ignoring medical advice and attention.
He added that while he and members of
his congregation sympathise with those
who have lost loved ones to the
disease, his claims over the Ebola virus
was to reinforce the belief that “with
God all things are possible.”
He said, “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 (late) John Lake
testimony and written to encourage us
never to cease praying no matter what
we or the world may be going through.
“In no way did the story suggest for
people to act irresponsibly with regards
to any medical emergency, including the
Ebola virus. 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.
“Our prayer is that as the medical world
continues to look for a solution to the
disease, God will provide succour and
encouragement to all the innocent
people going through this trauma and do
that, which only He can do.”
