Ogbonna called on the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the government to take action by regulating and holding pastors who engage in fraudulent practices accountable.
He wrote: “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, he will also reap. Fake miracles are mocking Christianity.
“It is heartbreaking to see pastors using fake miracles to deceive and exploit vulnerable people. These actions tarnish the true essence of Christianity, turning faith into a spectacle for selfish gain. The result? Broken trust, lost lives, and faith manipulated for profit.
IK Ogbonna
“To those pastors, it’s time for reflection—using God’s name for falsehood is a betrayal of the gospel. And to the victims, remember that your faith is sacred, and true miracles do not come from deception.
