In other news, Mary Njoku has officially entered the church conversation, and the church has responded with an invitation she did not ask for.
The Nollywood actress and filmmaker recently took to social media to address pastors who use the biblical phrase "Touch not my anointed" to silence criticism.
She advised pastors to take responsibility for their words and actions, apologise when necessary, and provide context where needed.
"Touch not my anointed applies when someone is falsely accusing you, lying against you, or deliberately trying to harm you."
She wrote.

She added that pastors are human and, like everyone else, are not above making mistakes or being held accountable. Her comments sparked mixed reactions online, with many praising her for speaking up and others questioning her intentions.

Nigerian pastors have reportedly extended an invitation to Mary Njoku for a private deliverance session. Sources say the invitation was sent through a mutual contact and described the session as "a time of prayer, reflection, and spiritual cleansing." Mary has not responded to the invitation, but her friends say she laughed when she saw it and asked, "Deliverance from what? Common sense?" The pastors have not commented on her response.
