The viral clip which had generated massive reactions from Nigeria also caught the attention of the government of the host state, the Anambra state government.
Anambra state government through a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr C. Don Adinuba on Monday, January 25 had sternly warned the prophet against continuing his practices which they described as ‘criminal and indecent conduct in the name of religion’.
The government Ministry of Health in another release on Wednesday, January 27 warned private and public motuaries and hospitals operating in the state not to fall for his gimmicks or allow him access to their facilities to carry out his plan of raising dead bodies.
