Another member of the dreaded Boko Haram sect allegedly confessed at Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua’s church today, stating that he was being paid N2,000,000 to bomb churches.
Nearing the end of the service, during the time Joshua’s ‘Wise Men’ were minisring ‘deliverance’ to people, an aggressive young man dressed in a shabby suit was ushered forward.
“I am one of the Boko Haram,” the man declared to the wise man, clearly under an unusual influence.“They said they would give me N2,000,000 if I went to blow up a church,” the man continued upon questioning as to how he joined the infamous group of insurgents. “Every church would be N2,000,000. They said would be give me big house and a wife.” Continue...
Boko Haram has been the
focus of huge international media attention following their claiming responsibility
for the kidnapping of over 200 girls several weeks ago.
Queried as to why he came to
the church, the man stated, “I have been
hearing of T.B. Joshua – that is why I came here.” The wise man then prayed
for the man who fell heavily to the ground, before being declared free from the
‘evil spirit’.
Several minutes later, T.B. Joshua
himself returned to the service simply clad in jeans and a t-shirt. “I was in the prayer room when I heard the deliverance
going on and listened to the confession of this guy. What he was confessing is
mind-boggling,” the cleric told the congregation.
Bringing the man back before
the congregation, Joshua questioned him further as to how he was initiated into
the sect. “My name is Hosea Bulus,”
the man began. “They gave me blood; they
gave me charms. I took it inside food.”
According to Bulus, upon
taking the diabolic ‘blood’, the urge to kill and destroy entered him. “If you talk to me, I will fight you very
well,” he confessed.
Joshua emphasised to the
congregation that the battle was more spiritual than physical. “One thing you must know – we are fighting
evil spirits that steal, kill and destroy. Let us not fight our neighbours.”
He insisted the problem was
not a Muslim-Christian issue. “They are
using that name as a camouflage, as a cover up,” he stated, adding that no
one could bring himself to killing innocent lives without being under the influence
of an ‘evil spirit’.
Joshua then prayed for the man,
who fell to his knees and immediately complained that he wanted to visit the
toilet.
The popular pastor reminded
the congregation of the well-publicized deliverance of an alleged Boko Haram
member named ‘Mustapha’ two months ago at The SCOAN who stated he came to bomb
the church with four accomplices.
He explained that
authorities in Abuja have certified the authenticity of his confession,
contrary to the statement released by Lagos State Police Commissioner Umar Manko
who initially dismissed the claims.
“At the beginning they said it’s not true but the authorities in Abuja came
out to confirm that he is truly a Boko Haram member… They are following it up.”
The cleric concluded by
stating he would not ask any further questions publicly so as not to undermine
the intelligence Hosea would be able to provide to the relevant authorities.
Several minutes later, the
man was shown excreting out some blackish substances following the prayer.
