Prophet Boma warns against hugging
He said:
“Stop hugging people you don't know their life. Is it not just a hug? ‘Just hug me now baby, hug me’. That's another pattern they will use to collect your soul.
“Stop hugging people you don't know their spiritual level. Stop hugging people you don't know their spiritual life. That heart connection that they hug, they have dragged you. I tell you again, stop hugging guys you don't know. Stop hugging women you don't know their spiritual (sic). Even though you know them, but you don't know their spirituality, their spiritual cover. Never you hug them. Never you shake them. ‘Hey, darling, what's up?’ Even shaking is a problem. Don't hug anybody you don't know their spiritual value. Let no one hug you and hug away your spirit.“

For decades, Nigeria’s several regions have been the site of deadly attacks. In northern Nigeria, Boko Haram and other ISIL (ISIS)-affiliated armed groups have launched deadly attacks for more than a decade, killing thousands and forcing hundreds of thousands to be displaced, as the groups attempt to impose harsh interpretations of Islamic law in the country’s mainly Muslim north.
Although the victims of the violence come from diverse cultures and religions, the attacks have prompted intervention from United States (US) President Donald Trump, with American lawmakers describing the situation as a “Christian genocide.”
