There is no substantial evidence or official records to suggest that the alleged incident of a woman giving birth to a horse in a church in Edo State in 2012 was formally investigated by authorities. The story generated a lot of media attention and public discussion, but it remained largely anecdotal, with little follow-up from credible sources.
Given the extraordinary nature of the claim, it is surprising that no scientific, medical, or law enforcement investigation appears to have been conducted to verify or debunk the event. Many people viewed the incident with skepticism, attributing it to spiritual or religious sensationalism rather than an actual biological phenomenon.
It’s important to note that extraordinary claims like this one typically require substantial evidence, which was never provided. Without medical documentation, professional verification, or thorough investigation by authorities, the story largely faded from public discourse and was never confirmed. It remains part of local folklore rather than a documented fact.
Woman Gives Birth To Horse In Edo Church-
Worshippers of the World Liberation Ministry located along old Sapele-Benin express road on Tuesday took to their heels during a prophesy programme when a female member delivered a horse.
The horse was however dead by the time Journalists visited the church.
It was gathered that the woman whose identity was not yet known started screaming during the prayer session and began to bleed from the vagina before the horse came out.
The General Overseer of the church, Evangelist Silva Wealth, said he was still amazed at what came out of the woman.
He told Journalists that during prayers a revelation came that there was a woman with an issue and that something was blocking her womb.
Silva said as prayers intensified, the woman started screaming and bleeding started when the object came out.
The cleric said he couldn’t confirm whether the horse was dead or alive because he didn’t go near it.
“I can’t describe the object. We have seen people that vomited several things during our service but not this type of thing. God has been blessing our ministry with prophesies and miracles, “he said.
People rushed to the church to catch a glimpse of the horse when news of the delivery filtered into town.
After the incident in 2012, the World Liberation Ministry in Benin City, Edo State, where the woman allegedly gave birth to a horse-like creature, continued to attract attention, but there is no substantial evidence that the church faced legal repercussions or closure as a result of the event. The church and its pastor, Evangelist Silva Wealth, remained in the public eye for some time due to the sensational nature of the story.
However, over time, the story faded from public discourse, and there were no reports indicating that the church was investigated by authorities, sanctioned, or shut down. It seems the church carried on its activities after the incident, despite the controversy surrounding the claims.
The incident was widely considered a case of spiritual sensationalism, and it is possible that the attention brought to the church increased its prominence within certain religious circles. At the same time, skepticism and criticism from outside the congregation likely influenced the broader public’s view of the church.
There are no significant updates about the church facing any long-term impact from the event, and the lack of follow-up in the media suggests that the church continued its operations without major issues.
