Basketmouth, a Nigerian comedian and actor has said that he will go on berating pastors even though they say it’s attracted some kind of punishment.
The comic actor said this after Bishop Davido Oyedepo, the senior pastor of Winner Chapel, admonished Christians to desist from criticizing men of God.
According to the clergyman, he said such a manner attracts dangerous punishment such as leprosy.
Oyedepo said “Beware of speaking hurt against the Ministry you claim to be part of advancing, it’s a risk. Beware of speaking hurt against a prophet you claim to believe.”
“It is dangerous. It can make a man leprous. It is dangerous. We don’t have the data of how many victims may have come from this warning, but I know quite some would have been victims.”
While responding, Basketmouth took to his Instagram story on Monday with a post, stating that he is guilty of what the clerics said and also added that he will continue despite the warning.
In his post, he shared a photo of the Bishop and wrote “This news dey make me laugh cos I am so guilty of this. Did it again 7 times yesterday and 15 times today. And I know I have 50 more to go today.”
