Arome calls out ‘Abidoshaker’

In the resurfaced clip, the cleric questioned the origins of some ministers and their unusual approach to prophetic ministry.

“Meanwhile we have not come to the issues of things like ‘Abidoshaker’. We have not started on those issues yet,” he said.

The preacher then questioned the authenticity of some dramatic miracle claims, alleging that certain ministers recruit people and stage healing demonstrations using props such as crutches.

Arome did not stop there.

The RCN founder appeared to suggest that the era of dramatic church displays was coming to an end.

“Brethren, where did these men come from? Even Jesus does not know,” he said, before adding that “the days of entertainment has gone down drastically.”

The controversial video has brought another wave of backlash against the cleric. It came at a time of intense public scrutiny for Apostle Arome.

He recently faced heavy backlash from social media critics after a sermon where he claimed Nigeria's primary national purpose is spiritual "revival" rather than economic or technological development.
