Behind closed doors, some pastors weren’t preaching the gospel.
They were running the biggest stage plays you’ll ever see.
13 times the cameras caught it all.
And what they were doing in the name of miracles will leave you stunned.
This isn’t what you think.
And when you get to number one, you won’t believe your eyes.
Number 13, Prophet Nanapoku.
As unbelievable as this will sound, a pastor named Prophet Nanapoku, the founder and leader of Kingdom Prayer Ministry International based in South Africa, took his fake miracles to a whole new level where he claims to heal congregants by passionately kissing them on the lips during services.
The video went viral on social media as the Ghanaian pastor claimed that kissing his congregants on the lips was a divinely inspired healing method that could cure everything from headaches to heart disease.
But the internet wasn’t letting this one slide.
The most disturbing allegations suggest that some congregants actually pay money for his holy kisses, turning what should have him jailed for sexual assault into a money-making scheme.
Some of these victims claimed they felt the Holy Spirit after the holy kiss, but social media critics weren’t buying that.
The testimonials from his followers are mostly unverified or appeared to be coerced with people seeming afraid to speak out against his methods.
There is no evidence whatsoever that his kissing method produces any real healing of any kind.
The funniest part, Poku responded to his critics by claiming that his kisses were filled with power and divine healing.
Despite the heavy backlash, he insists all his schemes are based on God’s instruction.
And he doesn’t seem to be backing down anytime soon.
If you thought holy kisses were shocking, hold on.
The next pastor didn’t just fake miracles.
He built an entire empire on lies, chemistry tricks, and a seedplanting scam so slick it took undercover cameras to bring him down.
Number 12, Victor Kenyari.
What this Kenyon evangelist did on stage is the last thing you can imagine for a preacher.
His ministry, Salvation Healing Ministry, was built heavily on the money of gullible congregations who think they are sewing seeds to God.
But it turned out they were only feeding their pastor.
It all started with his pandem translated as plant a seed.
This means that the only way to receive a breakthrough was to empty your bank account.
But he didn’t fool people for so long.
The most damaging evidence came from hidden camera footage showing Kanyari teaching his accompllices how to maintain false testimonies during his services.
As if that wasn’t enough, videos circulated showing him performing fake water to blood miracles using simple chemistry tricks with potassium permaganate, one that any amateur magician could easily pull off.
It didn’t take long before he got exposed in 2014 by a media personality, Jovu, linking him directly to fraud schemes operating under the guise of miraculous services.
His actors would give testimonies about receiving financial blessings after sewing seeds, encouraging others to donate money with the promise of similar results.
His mother, Prophetus Lucian Duta, wasn’t exactly saint material either.
She faced jail after extorting HIV AIDS patients to plant seeds of huge amounts, then issued fake medical certificates.
This fraud is obviously a family heritage, but we’ll talk about her later in this video.
Some members like the Goliath Wabung have come forward to say that they were paid by the pastor to fake healing.
Sadly, some people still attend his services, showing how powerful the desire for miraculous solutions can be, even when faced with clear evidence of deception.
Many associate these scandals with flashy Pentecostal preachers.
But this next man wore the collar of a Catholic priest.
He tried to fake a demon lizard in front of a packed church, but someone filmed his biggest mistake.

Now, back to the video.
Number 11, Reverend Father Modestus Chilaka.
Pentecostal pastors might have a larger share of the fake miracle scandals, but this Reverend Father has his own part to play.
Reverend Father Chiodzi Modestus Chilaka is an alleged Catholic priest who somehow happened to be ordained by two different bishops at separate times and places, which is already enough to raise so many eyebrows.
He runs his ministry in Og River, Inugu State, Nigeria.
And after countless successful fake healings, he probably ran out of luck this time.
This video captured him orchestrating a deliverance section for a member who he claimed to have been possessed by strange spirits.
Well, the idea was to have the entire crowd believe that the man vomited a dead lizard.
But things didn’t really go as planned.
He instructed his congregation to look at the clouds, thinking this was a clever move.
But what he didn’t account for was someone recording from the perfect angle to catch one of his aids quickly dropping a lizard on the ground.
The video evidence was so glaring beyond doubt.
There was no divine intervention, no miraculous expulsion of evil spirits, just a poorly executed deliverance trick that any amateur would be embarrassed to attempt.
When the truth came out, the community wasn’t having it.
In OG River, locals confronted the deception headon and literally chased him out of the village.
But the audacity didn’t stop there.
Reports suggest he was charging people for plastic seats at his programs, monetizing faith while delivering nothing but elaborate lies disguised as miracles.
Dropping lizards is one thing, but it can’t top this.
A man claimed he took selfies in heaven with angels, then tried to sell the photos on WhatsApp.
What he did next left the internet stunned.
Number 10, Prophet Pekka Mozaning.
What would you do if your pastor claimed he took selfies with angels in heaven? Well, that’s exactly what South African televangelist Prophet Embro from Incredible Happenings Ministries pulled off during his Easter service on April 2016.
This man stood in front of his congregation and announced he had ascended to heaven the night before and managed to snap some photos with the heavenly hosts.
The audacity didn’t stop there.
Ombro decided to monetize his alleged divine photo shoot, offering these supposedly authentic heavenly images for sale at 5,000 rands.
That’s about $340 through WhatsApp and Facebook.
Social media went absolutely wild.
Memes flooded every platform, turning his heavenly selfie claim into a running joke that followed him everywhere.
His most disturbing practices involve inappropriate physical contact during deliverance sessions, including inserting his hands into women’s private parts under the guise of spiritual healing.
He’s also claimed responsibility for ending droughts by causing miraculous rainfall, which was a lie.
By March 2019, the pressure over his selfie scam got out of hand to the point that Iro held a press conference where he completely backtracked, claiming he never went to heaven or sold any pictures.
But the damage was already done.
His credibility was buried 6 ft under and no amount of blameshifting could resurrect it.
That may sound like a one-man circus, but the next story features one of the most glamorous preachers in Africa.
Her designer suits and miracle handkerchiefs couldn’t cover up what was really going on behind the pulpit.
Number nine, Reverend Lucy Natasha.
Meet Reverend Lucy Natasha, the glamorous Kenyon preacher who leads Prophetic Ladder Glory Ministry International.
Known for her flamboyant style and using some sort of miracle handkerchief to heal the sick, she found herself in a deep mess when the internet decided to investigate her miracles.
In late 2021, Natasha and her husband, Prophet Carmel, were accused of staging fake miracles during their services.
The accusations spread like wildfire across social media with people questioning whether her spectacular healing demonstrations were nothing more than elaborate performances.
Natasha wasn’t about to let these claims slide without a fight.
She quickly responded publicly, stating that she does not sell miracles and emphasizing that Jesus is the only healer.
She insisted her ministry wasn’t in the business of orchestrating illusions, positioning herself as a legitimate vessel for divine power rather than a con artist with good stage management.
Here’s the interesting part.
All her services follow predictable patterns where the same types of ailments are healed in the same dramatic ways, which explains that this can be nothing else but a well- rehearsed choreography rather than real divine intervention.
Additional allegations about cultism and misconduct also popped up on social media, raising even more red flags.
She was eventually arrested and charged with fraud.
This time, even her miracles can’t save her.
The scandal doesn’t stop there.
Before her son scammed believers with fake miracles, this next woman claimed she could cure HIV with prayer.
The truth nearly cost people their lives.
Number eight, Prophetus Lucy Anduta.
Just like her son Victor Kari, Prophetus Lucy Anduda has her own specialty of evil and deceptive miracles, Lucy wasn’t just running a church in Nairobi.
She was playing with people’s lives by claiming she could cure HIV and AIDS through miracle prayers.
Here’s how her sick scheme worked.
HIV and AIDS patients would pay 1,000 Kenyan shillings just for registration at her clinic at Afia Center.
If you couldn’t afford the fee, then you only got general prayers, which apparently weren’t powerful enough to cure deadly diseases.
The entire setup was pure theater designed to fool desperate people.
Patients would undergo HIV testing and an elder would deliver the results to Anduta.
If they had planted a seed, she would dramatically declare them healed and HIV free.
Many patients believing they were genuinely cured stopped seeking proper medical treatment and anti-retroviral therapy.
The whole scheme came crashing down when patients began seeking additional medical tests on their own.
Surprisingly, their HIV status hadn’t changed one bit.
They had wasted precious time and money on a woman who was essentially selling false hope to dying people.
The law finally caught up with Anduda in 2006 when she was arrested.
By 2008, she was convicted on six counts of fraud and sentenced to 2 years in prison.
She was released in 2010, but the damage to her reputation was permanent.
While that con prayed on desperation, the next case feels like a horror film.
A popular preachers ministry suddenly connected to mass graves, starvation cults, and a hidden morg inside the church.
You won’t believe how deep this really goes.
Number seven, Ezekiel Odiero.
And lastly, Pastor Ezekiel Odiero is the general overseer of New Life Prayer Center and Church in Khifi County, Kenya.
But what started as questions about his ministry practices turned into one of the most horrifying religious scandals Africa has ever witnessed.
In April 2023, authorities began connecting dots between missing people and Odo’s church premises.
It happened that the devastating Melindi Shakola cult was responsible for mass starvation and over 110 deaths.
People weren’t just disappearing, they were losing their lives, and the trail led straight to his doorstep.
On April 27th, 2023, police arrested Odiero and forced an immediate evacuation of his church.
But what they discovered during their investigation was simply horrifying.
This man wasn’t just running a church.
He was maintaining a private morg right in his church premises.
The horror stretched even deeper when investigators found evidence that some followers had been buried in shallow graves scattered across an 800 acre forest near the church.
We’re talking about a religious leader who had literally turned his ministry into a death operation disguised as spiritual healing.
2 days after his arrest, Odo admitted through his lawyers that at least 15 deaths had occurred within his church premises.
He explained that they were sick visitors who had come seeking prayer and unfortunately passed away.
But when you’re running a private morg and people are being buried in unmarked graves in the forest, that explanation starts to sound pretty shallow.
This wasn’t about fake miracles or staged healings.
This was about a pastor whose ministry became a pipeline to the grave for desperate people seeking divine intervention.
But this time, he went in for it.
Just when you thought you’d heard it all, imagine your pastor pulling out a cell phone in the middle of service and claiming he’s on a call with God.
No joke.
And the crowd believed every word.
Number six, Pastor Paul Canore.
I know you’ve heard of pastors kissing their members on live camera, but what’s more ridiculous than a pastor claiming to call God through his cell phone? Meet Pastor Paul Sanyangor from Victory World International Ministries Church in Zimbabwe, who literally claimed he had God’s phone number and wasn’t afraid to use it during services.
During one particular service, Syang held his phone to his ear and announced to his congregation that he was dialing up the Almighty for a quick chat about a woman’s problems.
We still don’t know which is more shocking, the stunt itself or the fact that the crowd was cheering on and screaming for joy.
Is this heaven? Is it heaven? I have a woman here.
What do you have to say about her? The whole scene was captured on video and quickly went viral, racking up millions of views.
As absurd as it sounds, Sonang Gore doubled down on his claims, insisting he had received a direct line to God during prayer sessions.
The public reaction was exactly what you’d expect.
Viewers describing the whole episode as nothing but a fine performance.
And yes, his congregation fell blindly for it.
While some pastors talk to God on the phone, others just pay people to act healed.
That’s exactly what this next woman exposed after faking her miracle arm recovery four different times for different preachers.
And yes, it was all caught on tape.
Number five, Pastor Chris Okafor.
Nigerian televangelist Pastor Chris Okapor, founder of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons when allegations floated around about his miracle working methods.
The man who built his reputation on spectacular healings suddenly had to defend whether those healings were actually real.
The whole scandal broke when a woman named Bose Olasun Kanmi came forward with a twisted arm claiming she had been paid by multiple pastors including Okafor to stage fake healing miracles during services.
This your husband left you married another woman.
Yes, sir.
And he left you with three children.
Yes.
Two girls and one boy.
Yes, sir.
The woman told you, I’m not saying it’s your mother-in-law, but the woman said you will pay for this.
Her allegations weren’t shallow either.
She claimed she received 400,000 naira to act out her supposed miraculous healing.
Now, how was this possible? Now, Olas and Conani had an accident that gave her a strange ability to sulk in the bone of her right arm and pull it back to normal at will.
So, different pastors hired her to perform this stunt in front of their congregations, claiming they were the source of the healing.
The story gained serious traction because Olas Kanmi wasn’t just making vague accusations.
She was specific about the payments and even named other pastors allegedly involved in similar schemes.
Her claims suggested an entire network of staged miracles designed to fool congregations and boost donations.
Shockingly, videos have been flying around of this same woman performing the same miracle stunt for three other pastors.
Okaaphor wasn’t about to let these allegations slide either.
Through his lawyer, he completely denied the claims, calling them defamatory.
His defense was rather interesting.
He admitted giving the woman money, but insisted it was empowerment assistance for her poverty, not payment for a fake performance.
You have no idea how far these men are willing to go just for fame, money, and a crowd filling up their pews.
The next man took things even lower, turning worship into pure fear.
From forcing followers to eat live snakes to dangerous stunts that led to tragedy, this so-called prophet became a national disgrace before vanishing without a trace.
Number four, Prophet Penuel Monguni.
And lastly, the n prophet Penuel Monguni, the so-called snake prophet from end times disciples ministries, took religious manipulation to a different level, which could easily pass as a horror movie.
This man somehow convinced people to eat live snakes during church services.
Yes, actual living, breathing snakes.
But that wasn’t even his biggest trick.
He also forced congregants to strip naked, eat grass, rocks, and even live rats.
All while claiming these grotesque acts would demonstrate God’s miraculous power.
The audacity of calling snake eating a faith test is beyond comprehension.
The whole charade came crashing down on July 2015 when photos of these disturbing rituals leaked on social media.
South Africans were absolutely horrified and rightfully so.
The images showed people chewing dangerous snakes believing their pains and sickness would go away.
The SPCA didn’t waste time.
They arrested him on animal cruelty charges the moment those photos went viral.
Even the National Interfaith Council had to step in, condemning his practices as pure exploitation disguised as religion.
He once forced a woman to lie under a massive speaker to prove he could walk on water.
She died from internal injuries.
Now, after all the backlash, his church tent was burned down by angry locals.
Maybe we can call that divine justice.
The man literally vanished, leaving behind a trail of traumatized followers who probably still can’t look at a snake without having nightmares.
If you thought snakes were the worst part, think again.
The next preacher sprayed actual insecticide into people’s mouths and called it a miracle cure for HIV.
The backlash was fierce, but his excuse made it even worse.
Number three, Lethabo Rabalago.
Nicknamed the doom pastor, Lethibbo Rabalago is a South African prophet who runs Mount Zion General Assembly in Limpopo, South Africa.
But this so-called prophet decided that regular holy water wasn’t cutting it anymore.
Instead, he chose to spray actual doom insecticide directly into people’s faces and mouths, claiming God told him this bug spray could cure HIV, cancer, and ulcers.
The videos that flooded social media are absolutely insane.
You can see congregants lined up like they’re getting blessed, but instead they’re getting a face full of chemicals meant for killing cockroaches.
The desperation in people’s eyes as they willingly open their mouths for this miracle cure is both heartbreaking and disgusting.
While he claimed it was an instruction from God.
Rabo, thanks so much for your time, sir.
We appreciate it.
First off, tell us why doom? No.
Um uh I think God God can do anything, God can use anything.
Uh it’s not a matter of uh you know uh God used the tomb.
God if God can use oil, God can use water, God can use anything.
So it’s not a matter of me being specific why to I just took the step of faith.
However, videos from his service show congregants reacting negatively to the insecticide with some clearly experiencing adverse effects from the chemical exposure.
Tiger Brands, the company that makes Doom, had to issue public warnings telling people their product isn’t meant for human consumption.
The Limpopo Health Department wasn’t playing games either.
They got a court order to shut down this madness immediately and had him taken to court to face the law.
But this wasn’t Robalago’s first rodeo with dangerous stunts.
When confronted about the insecttoide incident, this man dared to claim critics weren’t on his level and that he was simply following divine orders.
The legal heat may have cooled his antics, but his arrogance was still off the roof.
Nothing prepared the world for this next stunt.
A man tried to convince everyone he could walk on air, only to be exposed by his own shadow.
And that wasn’t even his biggest lie.
Number two, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri.
Ever seen someone try to convince the world they can walk on air? Meet Shepherd Busheri, the self-proclaimed Major One who led the Enlightened Christian Gathering Church and built a massive following across Africa by promising miraculous healings and supernatural experiences.
This Malawian prophet decided to film himself performing what he called miraculous levitation.
The video claiming to show him walking on air while coming down the stairs of his home in South Africa received worldwide ridicule.
The footage shows Bushiri floating on air after walking off the last step of his wooden staircase.
But sadly, his shadow completely gave him away.
Even a dummy could see that it was all fake.
The walking on air stunt was just the tip of the iceberg.
This man built an entire empire on fake miracles, claiming everything from sending down holy ghost fire during a crusade to claiming angels visited his church in what looked like a poorly done visual effect.
This one will definitely leave you shocked.
In one of his staged prophecies, the actor he chose probably forgot to play according to the script and had the pastor exposed on camera.
Have you ever told me your name or where you stay? Your house number, your address, how many kids you have? Do I know you? I’m asking.
Yeah, we meet before.
Yeah.
Yeah, we meet before here.
Uh-huh.
What did we meet? What did we talk? Around 2:00.
Ah, I was here today.
Yes.
I mean, I You saw me.
Me? You saw me? Yes.
To speak with someone today.
He asked me, “Put the hands for Jesus.
” This a guy.
The audacity is simply impressive.
But slowly, some of his members started speaking out on how much his dubious scheme.
Despite owning lots of flashy cars and a million-doll private jet, Bushiri’s entire ministry was built on lies, scams, and deceit.
And of course, his large congregation still thinks he’s a man sent from God.
We end with the boldest of them all.
From secretly pinching his so-called miracle subjects to faking resurrections on camera, this pastor’s act was so exposed that even the internet couldn’t keep up.
Number one, Jeremiah Omoto Fufuan.
When it comes to dramatic church services, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufí of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry in Warary Delta State, Nigeria really knows how to put on a show.
But the keen eyes of social media weren’t buying any of his schemes, and they had evidence to show for it.
The first red flag came when viewers noticed something suspicious during one of his prophecy sessions.
The video circulated showing Fufan appearing to secretly pinch at the lady he was trying to prophesy to, seemingly trying to force her to agree with his so-called divine revelation.
And when she wasn’t giving in, she turned against her, calling her a pro and threatening to expose her.
There is a native doctor in your home.
Who is a native doctor? I’m not aware.
There’s a native doctor in your family.
Where do you come from? Don’t give it up time, please.
state forhan.
You know, yes, sir.
Who worshiped this Ou? This is Olo.
I am seeing Olu and this is called a rock.
The implication was clear.
The whole thing showed Jeremiah was nothing but a false prophet.
When the internet went wild, he quickly denied the allegations and called them completely false.
He urged people to be cautious about believing rumors without hearing both sides of the story.
But the internet wasn’t done with him yet.
In June 2025, a viral article dropped a larger bombshell accusing him of a much broader pattern of staged miracles with one where he pulled a fake resurrection stunt with his collection of fake healing and staged miracles.
It is still a mystery how he managed to sit thousands of people in his church.
Well, that’s a story for another video.
These pastors didn’t just fake miracles, they cashed in on people’s faith.
But how did some of them become millionaires by lying about God? The answer will scare you even more.
Watch our next video, Exposed.
These rich black pastors lied about God for money.
We’ll see you there.
