"I'll cure coronavirus patients for free"

Founder, House of Joy Ministry, Bishop Sam Zuga has said that anyone with coronavirus should be referred to him for treatment free of charge.

The cleric, who is popular for his philanthropic acts, stated this at a crusade to sensitise people about the virus in Yola, Adamawa State.

Bishop Sam Zuga said he harbours no fears about coronavirus as no virus can exist in his body, which he called the temple of God.

“No virus can survive in my body, my body is the temple of God, it can’t accommodate anything called virus,” he said.

“Corona virus is not different from other diseases God has been using me to heal. A virus cannot decide for me. I can stay at home when I want, not when Corona is giving orders.

“I can’t stop going to church because of a mere virus. How can I dishonor the Creator because of the creature? I cannot help the devil to kill people by forcing them to stay at home and be killed of hunger. There is no difference between who died of Coronavirus and who died of hunger.

“People that are killed by Boko Haram and herdsmen are more than Corona in Nigeria. If we acted drastically against these two as we did to Corona virus, Nigeria could have finished with the issue of insecurity since. I am the light of the world. Light is needed when there is darkness. Corona virus is the current darkness in the world. How can light run away from darkness?

“Christians were crying that Buhari is islamising Nigeria. Now that common virus is closing churches, what name can we give this? Is it ‘coronising’ Nigeria or ‘virusing’ Nigeria?

“The darker the darkness the brighter the light; I will use this thick darkness and shine the light of Christ among nations. This is the best time to prove that Jesus Christ defeated Satan truly.”
