Founder of Word of Life Bible Church Ayo Oritsejafor has spoken about his battle with cancer and the treatment he received abroad.
In videos
shared online and on his Instagram page, the former president of the Christian
Association of Nigeria said he kept his illness away from many members of his
church while undergoing treatment.
Although
he did not disclose the type of cancer, Pastor Oritsejafor said he spent months
in treatment and on bed rest, with medical expenses reaching over $120,000.
According
to him, he was in pain during church programmes but continued carrying out his
activities publicly.
“I was in
pain, but I was still doing my best for God. There was cancer in my body. I was
laughing, I was smiling,” he said.
The cleric
said doctors in the United States informed him that the cancer had spread to
other parts of his body, prompting further medical tests to determine if it had
reached his bones.
He said he
later returned to Nigeria and attended a church programme known as Jubilee
before travelling back abroad for treatment because the pain became severe.
Oritsejafor
said doctors later confirmed that the cancer had not spread to his bones and
treatment began immediately.
