Deliverance at SCOAN: Comedian Okey Bakassi defends Jim Iyke

In support of Jim Iyke, the comedian said, 

“I’m fed up with all the noise about my actor colleague who gained independence from ‘demonic influence  or ‘deliverance’ at Synagogue. I respect him for seeking spiritual help when others are shying away from the reality of their situation. Even those who are ‘demons’ themselves are throwing insults at Jim.

If you have never presented yourself for ‘deliverance’ keep quiet because you’re not sure of what forces are speaking through you.”
