“Fake Miracles Are Mocking Christianity,” Ogbonna wrote. “It’s heartbreaking to see pastors using deception to exploit people. These acts distort the true essence of Christianity, turning faith into a spectacle for selfish gain. The consequences are dire—lost lives, broken trust, and the manipulation of faith for profit.”

He also called on the Christian Association of Nigeria and the government to regulate and hold accountable those involved in fraudulent activities within the church, urging that Christianity must not be reduced to a tool for gaining likes, views, or viral fame. Ogbonna concluded by advocating for the protection of Christianity’s integrity, rooted in truth, love, and humility—not fraud or mockery.

His comments come in the wake of viral testimonies from members of the Lord’s Chosen Church, which have sparked widespread debate and raised concerns about the authenticity of miracle claims.
