Diezani returns, to visit The Synagogue for healing

FORMER Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, is being prepared to be flown back to Nigeria from the United Kingdom, where she has been receiving treatment for cancer, to visit the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) pastored by Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua.

According to the International Business Times, the embattled former petroleum minister receiving treatment for breast cancer is making the return to seek spiritual healing. A source said she asked to be returned to the country after her condition deteriorated.

“They have decided to fly her back into the country tomorrow (Friday) to seek for spiritual help. The condition worsened last weekend and she personally asked the family to return her to the country. She has not tasted any solid food since last Monday. She did not speak throughout Thursday. When she eventually spoke Friday morning, she ordered them to return her to the country to visit Prophet T. B Joshua for prayers,” the family source stated.

In a related development, the Lagos State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed its sympathy and solidarity support to the church founder over the building collapse that occurred last year, killing over a hundred worshippers.

In a letter signed by the council president, I.A. Adelekan, it said: “We believe the man of God has touched the lives of many Nigerians morally, financially and spiritually without respect to ethnicity or religion. We sympathise with you and are calling on the Lagos State government to seek foreign assistance to unravel the mystery surrounding the collapse of the building.”
