Nigerian singer Oluseun Anikulapo Kuti, popularly known as Seun Kuti, has recounted a tragic story of a family who allegedly lost a loved one and $250,000 after relying on spiritual intervention for a cancer case.
In a video, the singer said the family of the unnamed cancer patient sought help from a pastor despite a medical pronouncement that nothing could be done.
“Oyibo don tell am say nothing can be done, get comfortable; it’s your time. But the woman no wan die. Na Nigerian rich woman. She too hold bar. Na him dey come Nigeria, Adeboye will heal her. Dem go collect place for Redeem Camp. Adeboye pray finish..the woman come die inside Redeem Camp, the woman’s family couldn’t believe it,” he explained.
Seun added that the head pastor of the church claimed he could bring her back to life, but all efforts to revive her proved unsuccessful, leaving the family to bear both financial and emotional costs.
“Na him dey carry her body go inside Adeboye place for Redeem Camp. This was after $250,000 don go down. Adeboye came out of his balcony, he didn’t even come down to meet them. He told them to stop crying. He will go inside to pray for her to wake up. As he pray for one hour she no wake up, e say na God call am, make them dey go house,” Seun added.
The story has sparked conversations about the risks of prioritizing spiritual intervention over medical care, and the emotional and financial impact on families facing critical illnesses.
