Church Or Circus? Viral Video Of Pastor Performing Strange ‘Rituals And Deliverance’ On Members Sparks Uproar

A trending video showing a pastor pouring water over congregants during what appears to be a deliverance session has ignited outrage and debate on social media, with many calling for authorities to step in.

In the clip, the pastor is seen tilting a large metal container of water directly onto the heads of seated church members, some of whom bow or flinch as the water cascades down.

One caption accompanying the video reads, “Them need arrest this man,” reflecting the wave of criticism the footage has attracted online.

Deliverance and prayer sessions involving water, oil, or other symbolic elements are not unusual within certain Ghanaian and broader West African charismatic church traditions, often performed as acts of “cleansing” or spiritual breakthrough.

However, videos like this one continue to spark public debate over the boundaries between genuine religious practice and questionable, potentially exploitative church conduct.

As of now, the identity of the pastor, the name of the church, and the specific circumstances behind the video remain unclear.
