Rev. Fr. Dr. Angelo Chidi Unegbu, a Nigerian Catholic priest based in Germany, has publicly reached out to singer Chidinma Ekile, asking her to provide evidence for her claim that she was once blind and had her sight restored through prayers.
The priest made the appeal on his Facebook page, expressing skepticism about such claims and stating that he and his team have initiated a challenge to verify the authenticity of such miraculous events. He specifically asked Chidinma to provide details on when and how she was blind and where the purported restoration of her sight took place.
Rev. Fr. Dr. Angelo Chidi Unegbu also mentioned that he would be looking into Chidinma’s mother, who was reported to be the one praying for the restoration of her daughter’s sight. The priest’s request has garnered attention on social media, sparking discussions and curiosity about the singer’s past claims.
He wrote …
“TO MS. CHIDINMA EKILE
Dear Ms. Chidinma Ekile, I saw your video where you told the world that you were born blind but later received your sight when your mother went on her knees to God in prayer. To convince the doubting Thomases, I will please request that you give us permission to interview your mother, the hospital where you were born, the name and address of the hospital, and the doctor or doctors that confirmed you blind after birth and the cause of the blindness. We would also like to know whether you went back to the hospital or went to a doctor or doctors that confirmed you were blind after receiving your sight. If yes, may we know them as well? Our medical team will carry out the investigations as soon as we receive the required details. Please contact me via my email, [email protected].
Thanks
Rev. Fr. Dr. Angelo Chidi Unegbu
I am a Catholic priest who is based in Germany. My Facebook page is ‘Fada Angelo Chidi Unegbu’. I am interested in your case because last year we put up the challenge of searching for any visually impaired person who has ever received his or her sight after a man or woman of God prayed or laid hands on him or her, but no one showed up. Although in your own case it was your mother who prayed, the investigations will still help in clearing the air to a reasonable extent on claims of miraculously restoring the sight of the blind being made by some of our men and women of God in Nigeria.
Please help to share this message until it gets to Ms. Chidinma.
Fada Angelo Chidi Unegbu”
