Sir: A recent statement by a popular cleric and preacher that he could lay hands and pray for COVID-19 patients calls for concern. His claim has the potential of undermining efforts to tackle and defeat this vicious virus.

The preacher has reportedly said during his sermon on Saturday, August 29: “Can you imagine anyone bringing a coronavirus patient to me and I won’t lay hands on him? Will I wear gloves to lay hands on them?” Then, he went further to state: “I will lay hands on them; breathe into them; embrace them. What you carry is eternal life. It’s not human life. You should know that.” Unfortunately, the cleric has made similar reckless remarks in the past.

The coronavirus pandemic has dealt a heavy blow to the faith-healing industry. And Pentecostal pastors are desperate to get back into the business of mining the gullibility of Nigerians. The virus has succeeded in exposing the fakery and inefficacy of faith-healing practices. COVID-19 is a global pandemic and a public health emergency that has no cure yet. There is no evidence that coronavirus patients could be healed through prayer or laying of hands.
