Rumors that actress Kemi Afolabi visited a well-known church to be healed of the lupus illness she has been battling for months have been refuted by Afolabi.
Afolabi encouraged her admirers to refute the rumours, pointing them that she was a devoted Muslim and had a close relationship with Allah.
The actress was responding to a viral image of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Loveworld Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy, praying for a woman.

A rumour that the actress gained her healing during a miraculous ceremony was posted with the image.
The actress, however, said that after posting a video of herself performing her “own Islamic supplications,” she got a “disturbing response.”
Why did you not ask Allah to heal you, it read. You ran to church, why? They don’t have a mosque, Alfa.
Sharing a screenshot of the chat, she said, “Fast forward to Friday, I posted a video of me doing my personal Islamic supplications, @officialeelahandsome dropped a very disturbing comment today asking if I had just remembered that I was a Muslim or where was Islam when I was seeking solutions from the Church.
“I was stunned at how insensitive humans could get just to score religion points which can simply be considered as blasphemy.
“I personally would like to use this medium to debunk such a false narrative. Never was there a time that I attended a church for healing. The picture circulating online is not me and I want everyone to please disregard it.
“I have a personal relationship with Allah, I don’t need anyone to get through to him.”
In early 2022, the actress disclosed her illness and her colleagues in the Nollywood industry have set up a fundraiser on behalf of her treatment.
