Controversy
Being in the limelight, he recently found himself on the receiving end of social media users after a video of him calling one of his members a liar. In the clip one of his members is seen giving testimony of how God has done good things to her, becoming the first person in her family to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Law.
However, the pastor didn’t buy the testimony and went on to interrupt the testimony citing there’s nothing like a “Bachelor’s degree in Law”. He went on to question the authenticity of her testimony.
After the drama, it turned out that the woman had graduated with the said degree and social media users couldn’t let that slide. Many people condemned his actions and suggested he should apologize to the lady.
