The video of the deliverance went viral and quickly drew backlash online.
Social media critic VeryDarkMan accused her of exploiting vulnerable children for content rather than offering genuine help.
Actress Doris Ogala also condemned the act, describing it as blasphemy and a wrongful experiment on students, questioning if Tonto would allow such a session on her own child. She called on the police and NAPTIP to investigate the matter.
Tonto Dikeh reacted unbothered by the criticism, taking to Instagram on Saturday, March 7, where she shared more videos from the outreach.
She explained that she was grateful to God for using her as a vessel and insisted that her focus remained on her faith and divine assignment.
She wrote:
“God alone did it, may His name forever be praised. What we witnessed was not by our strength, wisdom, or planning. It was purely the hand of God moving among His children. Our hearts are filled with gratitude because when God leads, He confirms His word with undeniable fruit. Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.”
She added:
“Thank You, Jesus, for allowing us to be vessels in Your service. Thank You for every life touched, every child reached, and every heart turned toward You. Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. All the glory belongs to You, Lord. Focused on Jesus and my assignment.”
