Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of Enlightened Christian Gathering has been linked to the R5000 ‘Ticket to Heaven’ scam Prophet Paseka “Mboro” Motsoeneng got entangled to.
WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that Prophet Mbori in the last 4 years has been made fun of “for going to heaven and trying to sell a selfie of himself in heaven.”
Speaking on the development, a former ECG employee Thato confessed to the deed and revealed that he was assigned the “project” to deface Prophet Mboro by Prophet Shepherd Bushiri.
Thato said he got the brief to create an image of what looked like heaven with Mboro in the background from the ECG leader.
Bushiri’s spokesman Ephraim Nyondo said Mboro and Bushiri met in 2017 and resolved the matter.
Nyondo told the publication that the former ECG employee did this to deliberately create hostility between the prophets, and that was why he got fired.
He said;
“Those images and stories were done in 2016 by some guy who used to work in ECG media.
“Bushiri explained all this to Mboro when they met and the two even made peace. That’s why I’m saying ignore the fake news.”
Prophet Mboro on his own part however said his image has been continously tarnished and he is yet to get justice.
He said;
“I believe this was a scheme that was aimed at tarnishing my name. The fake heaven story even trended overseas.
“Besides the reports of ‘I went to heaven and came back’, there were also reports I asked for R100 000 for Covid-19 relief and that I visited hell and killed satan.
“He told me the person behind the fake accounts and fake news had been fired.
“I believe there are more people involved in this. I’d like to meet all the people implicated, as well as Prophet Bushiri, so we can find a solution. I’m tired of people tarnishing my image.”
