Pastor Donates N5m To Acid Victim, Car To Nollywood Actor

Iginla

The Senior Pastor, Champions Royal Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja, Joshua Iginla, has given N5m to Jamila Yusuf, 26, who was allegedly bathed with acid by her fiance.


Iginla also gave a new Peugeot 501 to a Nollywood actor, Mr. Ayo Emmanuel, popularly known as “Nollywood Policeman.”

Iginla, who made the presentation to the beneficiaries at the Church service, also pledged to sponsor the reconstructive surgery for the acid victim in India.

The pastor explained that the total sum required for the surgery was about N10m and encouraged people to contribute to save the victim’s life.

He, however, pledged to complete the money by next week with another N5m if the balance was not raised by then.

“I think Nigerians should rise up to defend the rights of women; to lay your hands on a woman is injustice.

“I just don’t know how a man can do this (pour acid) on a lady; some people are just animals; how can you disfigure a lady like this.

“We have hundreds of them (women) like this that they have done this wickedness to.

“I am not doing this for her because she is a member of my Church; I don’t know her from anywhere; she’s even a Muslim and not a Christian.

“We are only doing this to preach love and not to convert her to Christianity after her surgery in India,” he said.

The pastor said he would sponsor the trip, and everything that was required for her to live a normal life.

“We are working to get them visa this week to go to India; we will pay every bill.

“I already have $10,000 and by next Sunday, I will complete it,” he said
