Speaking at the Meticulous People Foundation Outreach, a foundation that deals with mental illness, owned by Chacha, Faani recounted how a pastor deceived him into sacrificing goats in a bid to heal his wife.
Sharing the video on her Instagram page, Chacha Eke wrote: “The universe knew I would need ‘saving’ and so they sent ‘Austin Faani’ my way.”
He said: “I’m a very religious person but I believe religion has done more harm to Africans than anything else.
“In November 2012, I took her to a church because I told the pastor that my father-in-law killed a lot of cows for her, he said I should kill something for her. So I ran to Abraka market and bought a big goat for her but at the end of the day, the same thing kept happening to her.”
