‘FG must jail pastors,’- Seun Kuti sparks debate

Oluseun Anikulapo Kuti a Nigerian musician and the youngest son to Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, has urged the Nigerian government to jail pastors who perform ‘staged’ miracles.

The artist, during a live video, explained that some pastor makes claims about performing miracles that cannot be proven at hospitals. Seun advised that to put a stop to such acts of deceit, pastors found guilty should be sent to jail.

He urged the government to create a law where no one is allowed to perform miracle unless they can perform it again in the presence of medical professionals.

“A law should be made to ensure that no one is allowed to perform miracles, and anyone caught claiming to perform a miracle should be sent to jail. The only exception would be if the miracle can be proven at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). They should perform the miracle for ten people at LUTH. I do not want to hear about fake miracles, because your God can do all things. I am not talking about miracles that claim to heal someone who has been blind their entire life. In this case I’m talking about someone with no eyeballs at all and If the miracle is real, the person should gain full vision. If you cannot perform the miracle, you should be held accountable. If a person is unable to perform the miracle, they should be sentenced to fifty years in prison,” he stated.
