Prophet T.B. Joshua has responded to a controversial online article
suggesting he was the mastermind behind the release of Major
Al-Mustapha.
Online Nigerian media house Sahara Reporters had
released an article titled ‘Pastor T.B. Joshua Revealed As Man Behind
Al-Mustapha’s Release’ which quoted an anonymous source identifying
Joshua as the person who told Goodluck Jonathan that his political
fortune in 2015 rested with setting Al Mustapha free alongside brings
James Ibori back to Nigeria.
“This article is from the enemy,”
the Nigerian cleric fumed via a statement on his official Facebook page,
followed by close to 750,000 people. “They should not drag me into the
issue of politics. If I was ever to go to Aso Rock, I would go publicly.
I have already told you how I met Al-Mustapha. Don’t put words in my
mouth.”
After Al-Mustapha’s release last week, his first port of
call was to Prophet T.B. Joshua whom Mustapha later described upon his
triumphant arrival in Kano as an ‘old friend’. Joshua had immediately
granted an interview following Mustapha’s visit, explaining that he met
Mustapha following his wrongful imprisonment by the NDLEA and had
prophesied to him about his long prison sentence and eventual release.
“It
is therefore very malicious for Sahara Reporters to attach any
political meanings to Al-Mustapha’s visit,” T.B. Joshua continued,
denying that he had any involvement in Al-Mustapha’s release. “Count me
out of the politics of hatred.”
