The Lord’s Chosen Church has addressed online criticism regarding a recent testimony, reaffirming its commitment to authenticity.
The Head of Public Relations and Media, Pastor Chidi Louis, claimed that the viral video, purportedly showing a member disarming four armed robbers and taking possession of an “AK-27,” was fabricated.
Louis stated, “Nigerians should disregard the fake video and visit our church platform to listen to the complete testimony for better understanding. The woman’s story occurred in a dream, not in reality.”
He warned, “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet. Bloggers often edit content to ridicule the work of God. Most of these bloggers are wicked and devilish.”
The church’s media department also denounced the clip as fake on its platform and urged the public to disregard it. The full clip of the lady’s testimony was released on the church’s TikTok handle, clarifying that her story was a dream.
The controversy stemmed from a viral video where a woman testified about defeating four armed robbers and collecting a pistol, which she called an “AK 27.” A pastor corrected her, stating it was an AK 47.”
