Apostle Paul Umoru, the general overseer at Toplife Ministries International in Bonny, Rivers state, has come under fire and heavy criticism after sharing a controversial shocking testimony on Facebook. The pastor shared a story of how a young boy was allegedly almost swallowed by a stranger who “transformed into a python” in a tricycle on Sunday 4th Feb 2018 before the mother screamed Jesus and rescued him.

Below is what the pastor shared online;

Beloved, on Sunday 4th Feb 2018 a member of our church, while returning home after service around after 1pm joined a keke napep with her four children. She handed over one of the children to a male passenger she met in the keke to help her carry due to lack of enough space. Not long after, the stranger transformed to a large python and was swallowing this young boy right inside the keke in broad day light here in Bonny Island. The head and part of the shoulders of the young boy had already gone into the mouth of the python. On noticing this frightening scene, the boy’s mother shouted JESUS!

This made the python to vomit the boy and disappeared leaving some teeth bruises on the boy’s body. The boy had fainted but was later revived and prayed over. See picture below showing the teeth of the python on the boy. The lesson here is to ensure you don’t handover your child or property to a total stranger. You may never know who you are dealing with. May the Almighty God deliver us from satanic agents of darkness in the name of Jesus Christ!

Online users who found the story amusing – took it out on the pastor as they labelled him a big liar considering the fact that the boy’s bones would have been broken in the course of the python swallowing him.
