Ridiculous: prophet set church member on fire becaise he heard she won't burn

A prophet at the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), Unity
Street in Abule-Egba, Lagos, yesterday, allegedly set a
member ablaze during service.
“Our prophet said the spirit of God whispered to him that I
would not burn if he sets me on fire. When I came out,
they poured kerosene on my body and set me ablaze. But,
unfortunately, I was burnt beyond recognition and before
the other church members could get water, the deed had
already been done,” The Nation quoted the victim, simply
identified as Mama Bosede, to have said.
On his part, the prophet told The Nation that he clearly
heard a voice instructing him to set a member on fire to
prove and confirm that God was in their midst.
“I heard the voice clearly, but I don’t know what
happened after we set fire on her. God has been speaking
to me since and it has been working, so I wonder why
now,” he said.
Following the incident, some members left the church for
fear of being the prophet’s next victim.
“I don’t pity her; she was the one who allowed herself to
be deceived by the prophet. Why did the prophet not try
the fire on himself or any of his family member?” a
resident, Irene Ohekina said.
