Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has urged the federal government to enact laws regulating pastors who claim to perform miracles.
In a video shared online, Kuti proposed that such claims should be subjected to verification by medical experts, suggesting that institutions like the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) be involved in the process.
He argued that alleged miracles must be consistently demonstrable under medical supervision, citing examples such as restoring sight to individuals without eyeballs.

Kuti further recommended stiff penalties, including up to 50 years’ imprisonment, for individuals who fail to substantiate their claims.
He said, “A law should be made to ensure that no one is allowed to perform miracles, and anyone caught claiming to perform a miracle should be sent to jail. The only exception would be if the miracle can be proven at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).
“They should perform the miracle for ten people at LUTH. I do not want to hear about fake miracles, because your God can do all things. I am not talking about miracles that claim to heal someone who has been blind their entire life. In this case I’m talking about someone with no eyeballs at all and if the miracle is real, the person should gain full vision. If you cannot perform the miracle, you should be held accountable.
“If a person is unable to perform the miracle, they should be sentenced to fifty years in prison.”
