Over the last two days, a video of Rose Muhando at a church service at Neno Evangelism Center has been making rounds. And the reason that this video has been shared widely is that Rose Muhando is allegedly having demons cast out of her.
The demons had allegedly been ‘sent’ by Muhando’s manager to steal her property and drive her out of her home.
“Ni meneja wake alitutuma sisi, tukachukua gari zake zote, tukachukua vitu vyake vyote. Na sisi tumemtoa nyumbani sasa asirudi nyumbani, miezi mitatu sasa…” said the ‘demon’.
Pastor Ng’ang’a has however refuted claims that he was casting a demon out of Muhando. In a phone call with Hot 96, Ng’ang’a said “I wasn’t casting demons out of the musician. She was unwell. She, therefore, requested for spiritual healing from me. I only facilitated that. Rose Muhando is like a patient in a hospital. Do you usually call the doctor to inquire about the health details of a patient you are not related to? No, you don’t. So, kindly keep off the Rose Muhando issue.”
The controversial pastor did not seem pleased about being called about the Muhando issue and retorted with “I own the rights to the video doing the rounds on social media, showing Ms Muhando being delivered from demons. You do not own the rights to that video. So, why would you call me over that clip? Who is your supervisor? I should call him or her and ask him to drive sense into you. Why are you interested in a video that you don’t have any rights to?”
Neno Evangelism Center Bishop James Ng’ang’a has confirmed that the woman in a viral video being rid of demons is indeed Tanzanian singer Rose Muhando.
Speaking to eDaily, the man of God says that the Nibebe crooner was not possessed by demons but was only seeking spiritual healing from him.
“If anything, I wasn’t casting demons out of the musician. She was unwell. She, therefore, requested for spiritual healing from me. I only facilitated that. Rose Muhando is like a patient in hospital. Do you usually call the doctor to inquire the health details of a patient you are not related to? No, you don’t. So, kindly keep off the Rose Muhando issue,” the Bishop is quoted by the blog.
Muhando has had a rough couple of years. She has been hit by one scandal after another. In the 7 minute video, she is called to the pulpit by the man of the cloth, to which she obliges.
The pastor starts praying for her. She falls to the ground, writhing as if in pain, then starts screaming. Ng’ang’a then instructs the “demons” that have caused her her music career, fame and fortune and even her children.
“Tell that demon to leave your body. [I order you, demon, to] release her from the shackles, which have stalled her music career and gospel work,” Ng’ang’a tells the singer.
Still twisting and writhing on the ground, she responds: “It is Rose’s manager who sent us to disorientate her. We took all her cars and property. We even managed to drive her out of her home for three months now. We are ten of us pitching camp in her body. We also vowed to scuttle her attempts at trying to regain her feet in music. We’ve placed a demonic object in her, which has completely killed her talent. You know, when she sings [for God], she spoils our business.”
