The article 'Pastor T.B. Joshua revealed as man behind Al-Mustapha's release' is from the enemy - T.B Joshua

There is this rumour making wave around the internet that Pastor T.B. Joshua is the man behind Al-Mustapha's release from prison.

Below is an official statement from Prophet T.B. Joshua debunking the rumour:

My attention has been drawn to an online article headlined 'Pastor T.B. Joshua Revealed As Man Behind Al-Mustapha's Release' written by Sahara Reporters. This article is from the enemy.

They should not drag me into the issue of politics. If I was ever to go to Aso Rock, I would go publicly. I have already told you how I met Al-Mustapha. Don't put words in my mouth. I explained that I got to know him many years ago when a petition was addressed to General Bamaiyi who was the then Chairman of the NDLEA. I spent nine days with them for investigation and they found the whole thing to be a fabrication.

From there, I was taken to see the president where I met Mustapha. I was able to reveal to them who I am by telling them what was to come as a prophet. I told him that he would spend several years in prison and would be finally released which no one else had ever told him. That is why you saw him coming here as his first port of call. Where there is no vision, people perish.

It is therefore very malicious for Sahara Reporters to attach any political meanings to Al-Mustapha's visit. At no time did I tell President Jonathan that his political fortune rested with setting Al-Mustapha free, neither did I ever suggest that Chief James Ibori, former Delta State Governor be brought back to Nigeria to assist the president in the 2015 presidential election. Count me out of the politics of hatred.
