A pastor has come under heavy criticism after a video shared on TikTok appeared to show him spitting on the hands and back of an elderly woman during a church service, sparking widespread condemnation online.
The clip, which shows the pastor performing what appears to be a deliverance or healing ritual on the woman, has reignited debate about unconventional practices adopted by some African prophets and pastors during church services.
Such methods, often defended by their practitioners as spiritually significant acts carried out under divine instruction, have repeatedly drawn criticism from segments of the public who view them as degrading, unhygienic, or simply performative.
Despite the recurring backlash such videos attract, many pastors involved in similar incidents have continued defending their actions, insisting they are following direct guidance from God rather than seeking public attention.
This pastor’s response, according to those familiar with the video, follows the same pattern of justification.
The identity of the pastor, his church, and the specific location of the service have not been confirmed.
