In continuation of his philanthropic gesture, Bro. Joshua
iginla, the Senior Pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Chikakore-Kubwa, Abuja on
Sunday, gave additional N5 million to complete the N10 million promised to a
Muslim acid victim, Jamila Yusuf, who was bathed with acid by her boyfriend.
Bro. Iginla announced his sponsorship of Jamila’s medical
trip to India for a reconstruction surgery, including her brother and a Medical
Doctor, Dr. Osamaojo Eghosa, who would accompany them.
The philanthropic pastor had earlier presented N5 million to
Jamila and gave opportunity to those who might want to contribute to saving her
life.
He had, however, said that he had the whole money and would
complete it if enough money was not raised from people to complete it.
The Senior Pastor had also processed Jamila’s Passport and
Medical Visa as well as Passports and Visas for her brother and Dr. Eghosa who
are accompanying her.
The additional N5 million and the previous N5 million, which
completed the N10 estimated Medical bill, Jamila’s Visa and those of her
brother and Dr. Eghosa to India, were also displayed Live at the Church service on
Sunday.
“I am told by medical Doctors they might stay in india for
up to three months. About N900,000 came in from outside apart from the N5m that
I gave. So bring another 10,000 U.S. dollars and four bail of N500 (N1 million)
to make it N10 million. I was told someone from Abuja here donated 4,300 Rupees
to that,” Bro. Iginla said.
“So by this week, they are travelling to India and when they
come back, we will update you again to see what has been done. They have gotten
the Visa and her brother’s and Doctor Eghosa’s who will accompany her there.
The money in Naira, Dollars and Rupees bills was publicly
handed over to Jemila immediately at d Church.
Bro Joshua Iginla of Champions Royal Assembly, again,
stressed that he did not know Jamila from anywhere but was only showing love to
her.
He also emphasised that his gesture was not to convert
Jamila from Islam to Christianity.
His words:
“I want to tell you that I don’t know our sister and I need to stress that the money I am giving her is not a bait to turn Jemila from Islam to Christian.
“That’s why we did not give her Bible and we are not
stopping her from going back to Muslim when she comes back but we are saying
women should be respected and protected. It is not about converting her but
about who is my neighbour. My neighbour is the one who needs my help and who I
can render help.
“This is just the little we can do to preach love to all
human race whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu or any religion or tribe. It is
still a problem in Nigeria to help people outside of your religion or tribe; it
is a tradition to help only people from your tribe or religion,” he said.
Doctor Eghosa, explained that all arrangements had been
concluded for Jamila and the team to leave for New Delhi, India.
“Through Papa, we have made arrangement with Fortis Hospital
in New Delhi and will be leaving this week by the grace of God. She will have
cosmetic approach for the neck and also surgery for the eyes and the cost will
be about N10 million or more,” Dr. Eghosa said.
According to him, the team of Doctors to carry out the
reconstruction surgery had been contacted and were set to carry out the
surgery.
Bro. Iginla is synonymous with assisting people from all
walks of life especially, widows, orphans and less-privileged.
