Jim Iyke, a Nollywood actor, has disclosed what prompted him to seek healing for his mother at the late TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church Of All Nations in 2013.
Teju Babyface claimed in an interview posted on YouTube on Tuesday that desperation drove him to seek healing for his mother at the church. His mother, Esomugha, died on April 1, 2014.
Iyke had beaten Maduagwu in August 2021 for questioning his source of riches. At the time, the video became viral.
Iyke stated in an interview with Chude Jideonwo that the beating was planned and that he paid Maduagwu after they struck an agreement.
He said, “I called the man, we had an understanding, I paid very well for it, rolled out the script, called Moses in, we shot it and we’re about to release the ending of it. I’m not stupid. I will never make that kind of mistake.”
“We buried over N20m in the production of that film and people were still viewing it with a certain degree of cynicism. Immediately there was a scandal, it caught fire,” the actor revealed.
While speaking with Babyface, he said he had been “extorted” financially by several men of God over his mother’s ailment, asserting she would live.
“I will never be desperate again in my life. Desperation was what took me there, to take my mother there, hoping that a man of God would heal her. If she were to live, 20 TB Joshuas would not stop her.
“It was her time, nobody would have made me enter that space, he was not the only one I went to, I have been to five or six men of God, is it because I do not want to mention names? How they drove me, the money they took from me,” he said.
