No less than 400 worshippers daily have been
visiting an uncompleted church building in
Ikorodu, Lagos state, to see an alleged image
of Jesus Christ.
The image believed by some people to be the
face of Jesus, reportedly appeared on a wall
in a church called the Holy Ghost Fire Apostolic Church, Ogunse Estate, Sagamu Road, Ikorodu, Lagos state.
Residents of the area as well as church
members have been swarming the sight of
the alleged miracle since an artisan raised
alarm and called the attention of people to it.
The uncompleted church building has a water
stained wall that formed the image of a face
which people visiting the scene have termed
as Jesus' face.
According to a report by Vanguard,
worshippers and residents of the area visited
the church individually and in groups, praying
and singing to God, while some transporters
seized the opportunity to hike their fares.
The worshipers were seen dropping sachets
and bottles of water by the wall, while others
knelt down or touched the image praying aloud.
The construction work at the church has also
been put on hold due to the number of pilgrims turning up to catch a glimpse of the image
Hundreds of people trooped to Saint Augustine's Catholic Church which is located in the Nenger area of Makurdi following the "appearance" of an 'image' of Jesus.
The church which is situated behind Government Model College became a hub for Catholic and non-Catholic worshippers after bright image fell on the crucifix of Jesus.
The crucifix is described as a structure of
Christ when he rose from death after he was
crucified and buried and according to
witnesses, it had on its head a crown, while
the entire body was glittering, like precious
stone.
