Seun Kuti recounts how a wealthy family allegedly spent $250,000 hoping for divine healing
Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has shared a painful story about a wealthy Nigerian family who allegedly lost their loved one and $250,000 after trusting Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s prayers to heal a terminal cancer patient.
In a viral video, the musician recounted how the family turned to the popular man of God when doctors abroad told the woman her condition was beyond medical help.
According to Seun, the woman was moved to the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) camp, where prayers and spiritual interventions were carried out with strong assurances that she would survive the terminal cancer.
The singer explained that the family secured accommodation at the camp, commonly called Redemption Camp, where Pastor Adeboye personally prayed for the woman. Despite the spiritual efforts, Seun claimed the woman eventually died at the camp, leaving her devastated family in shock.
He alleged that the family spent about $250,000 throughout the process, holding onto the hope of divine healing. He criticised the reliance on faith healing, describing it as false hope that left the family unprepared for reality.
“This woman no wan die… Adeboye dey pray for the woman. He said she will be okay. She will not die,” Seun said in the video.
The singer went further to allege that after the woman’s death, Pastor Adeboye came out to his balcony and told the grieving family to stop crying. According to Seun, the clergyman promised to go inside and pray for the woman’s resurrection.
He claimed the pastor instructed the family to kneel beside the body outside for one hour while he prayed indoors.
“He said, make dem kneel down with the woman outside. Him dey go inside go pray for one hour. If the woman doesn’t wake up, na im be say na God”. Seun recounted. The musician expressed frustration at what he described as childish belief in miracles, questioning the sincerity of such spiritual practices.
