Pastor Ituah Ighodalo Clears The Air On Ebola Virus Cure
Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, the founder of Trinity House in Lagos, has said the article he put up on his Facebook timeline themed “Solution To Ebola” didn’t suggest that he has a cure to the deadly Ebola Virus Disease. He made this disclosure on his Facebook timeline with a message, “Re: Lagos Pastor Boasts of Ebola Cure” which read that:
” It has come to our attention a story published 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. 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 . 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.”
It means that the Pastor was misunderstood by some people.
