This follows a three-phased investigative documentary by the BBC where dozens of survivors shared their testimonies about rape and assault.

In the interview shared on YouTube with Teju Babyface, the award-winning actor said desperation made him seek healing for his mother at the church. However, his mum, Esomugha, died on April 1, 2014.

While speaking with Babyface, he said he had been “extorted” financially by several men of God over his mother’s ailment, asserting she would live.

“I will never be desperate again in my life. Desperation was what took me there, to take my mother there, hoping that a man of God would heal her. If she were to live, 20 TB Joshuas would not stop her.

“It was her time, nobody would have made me enter that space, he was not the only one I went to, I have been to five or six men of God, is it because I do not want to mention names? How they drove me, the money they took from me,” he said.
