Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, founder of Word of Life Bible Church and former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has revealed how he secretly battled cancer, ran up a $120,000 medical bill, and was saved partly by a personal assistant who refused to obey hospital rules.
In a video message posted on his Instagram handle and monitored by Vanguard Newspaper, the cleric said his public smile during months of private agony was a deliberate act of his faith in God and heart to help the less privileged.
