Seun Kuti explained that any pastor who says they can perform miracles must be able to prove it under medical supervision.
The afrobeats singer suggested that institutions like the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) should be the place where such claims are tested, emphasising that miracles must be demonstrable and repeatable before they can be accepted.
In the video circulating on social media, Seun Kuti said:
“A law should be made to ensure that no one is allowed to perform miracles, and anyone caught claiming to perform a miracle should be sent to jail. The only exception would be if the miracle can be proven at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).”
Seun Kuti went further to say that pastors should be asked to perform miracles on multiple people in a controlled environment, giving examples such as restoring sight to someone who has no eyeballs at all.
“They should perform the miracle for ten people at LUTH. I do not want to hear about fake miracles, because your God can do all things. If you cannot perform the miracle, you should be held accountable.”
The singer concluded that stiff punishment should follow anyone who fails to prove their claims.
“If a person is unable to perform the miracle, they should be sentenced to fifty years in prison.”

Seun Kuti, VDM visit Fela's grave after Wizkid clash
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Wizkid's fans expressed outrage after pictures showing Seun Kuti and VeryDarkMan at Fela Kuti's graveside surfaced online.
The visit came weeks after both men had clashed with Wizkid online over what they described as disrespect to the late Afrobeat legend, Fela. In the images, Seun Kuti was seen pouring libation while both men knelt beside the grave.
Some Wizkid fans questioned whether Fela should be worshipped or have libation poured at his grave. Others claimed the pictures proved that VeryDarkMan's earlier attack on Wizkid was planned.
