Pastor Ituah Reacted To Having Cure For Ebola Virus! Punch Newspaper Please Stop The Rumor!

You all remember how the founder of Trinity House church, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, was accused of saying he has the solution to the deadly Ebola virus and that Ebola victims should not seek medical attention.

Well, sorry to disappoint you, Pastor Ituah has come out to set the record straight.

Please read his statement after the cut...


"It has come to our attention a story published by the Punch newspaper written by one Temitayo Famutimi in response to a post on our official Facebook page. 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 John Lake testimony and written to encourage us never to cease praying no matter what we or the world may be going through."
Nowhere in the said story did Pastor Ighodalo make claims that he had found a solution or that “only God’s anointing and the living words of Jesus” were all that were needed for the Ebola disease or that people should not seek medical help and attention. Continue
In no way did the story suggest for people to act irresponsibly with regards to any medical emergency including the Ebola virus. The headline of the story and its contents were clearly written with sensationalism in mind. In the spirit of good journalism the  reporter  should have made attempts to contact the church to verify his story. This negates the practice of professional journalism, which we would have expected from a leading newspaper such as Punch. 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 and our prayer is that as the medical world continues to look for a solution to the disease and  that our God will provide succour and encouragement to all the innocent people going through this trauma  and do that, which only He can do”. the statement read

Below is what Ighodalo wrote on his Facebook page...
