A Nigerian woman has shared a heartbreaking story of how her toddler developed cerebral palsy after a pastor allegedly turned him upside down during a so-called “deliverance session.”
In a video circulating trending on TikTok by @Ekaf TV, the distraught woman recounted that her son, then just one year and four months old, was next in line for prayers at her husband’s church.
She explained that the pastor suddenly declared the boy had a “big star” and was “chained by the enemy,” insisting that a deliverance be performed immediately.
During the process, he reportedly lifted the child and turned him upside down, and that moment changed everything. Not long after, the baby began convulsing repeatedly.
Doctors later confirmed that he had suffered a brain injury, resulting in cerebral palsy, a lifelong condition affecting movement and coordination.
The mother revealed that her husband, a member of the same church, abandoned them when their son turned two and has since remarried.
Her story has sparked strong reactions online, with many Nigerians calling for stricter oversight of dangerous “deliverance” practices that continue to put innocent lives at risk.

@Daddy Duncan 🇧🇪: they finally used the pastor as the instrument to destroy the boy destiny
@Moh: maybe the husband warned her not to take the baby to church but she didn’t listen that why he left.
@Esther Easy: Deliverance for 1yr and four months 🤦🏼♀
@🌼ADWOA🌼: This condition is something a child develops even before they are born. It’s when the brain isn’t developed well. I don’t think it’s something a child can get after being born. 🤔
