Head Pastor Enock Boamah of the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church has addressed the controversy surrounding a viral video of actor John Peasah, popularly known as ‘Drogba’ from the TV series Yolo, sharing his testimony of healing during a recent church event.
In the video, Drogba recounted his experience of miraculous healing at a crusade held in Accra, highlighting his newfound ability to perform tasks he had been unable to do for the past four years due to health issues.
The testimony sparked a mix of reactions online, with some celebrating the miracle and others expressing skepticism.
In response, Pastor Boamah spoke during a Sunday service, where he clarified that Drogba’s testimony was genuine and unsolicited.
He emphasized that Drogba personally shared his experience without any prompting from the church, stating, “The person said he feels better. We didn’t ask him; he said he feels better.”
Addressing accusations that he was using the testimony for publicity, Pastor Boamah explained that he had instructed the media team not to post the testimony initially, as he was not seeking attention or clout.
He also reflected on the criticism he has received, viewing it as a sign of elevation by God, drawing parallels with the persecution faced by early Christians.
During the same service, Pastor Boamah hinted that Drogba’s testimony was just one of many miracles that occurred that night, suggesting that there is more to the story that will be shared later.
Drogba, who has been battling Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare condition that causes severe muscle stiffness and difficulties in public spaces, shared that he experienced significant improvement following the crusade.
He expressed relief and optimism about his condition, noting that he had struggled to find others with the same condition in Ghana.
