Media entertainer turned pastor, Woli Arole, is facing criticism from Nigerians after a video surfaced showing him hugging women tightly during a deliverance session at a church. The pastor, who had recently shared an Instagram post addressing judgmental individuals, now finds himself in the spotlight for his method of prayers.
Woli Arole had hosted a 24-hour Christian program dedicated to worship, praise, and prayers. However, the deliverance session, where the pastor hugged two women closely, has sparked controversy and garnered negative reactions from the public.
Nigerians took to social media to express their concerns about the pastor’s actions during the deliverance, questioning the appropriateness of such close physical contact, especially in a religious setting. Some criticized him for what they perceived as an uncomfortable and unconventional approach to prayer.
The criticism comes after Woli Arole had shared advice on addressing judgmental individuals, emphasizing the importance of focusing on one’s relationship with God rather than being overly concerned with the opinions of others.
As the video circulates on social media, discussions continue about the boundaries between pastors and their congregants, with opinions divided on whether the pastor’s actions were appropriate or not. Findwhosabi News will monitor developments and provide updates on this evolving situation.
