Twitter finds more ‘familiar’ faces linked to Lukau’s resurrection

Images of the shocked white guy have also surfaced showing the man in past photos standing next to the pastor.


New details are emerging that appear to suggest the man at the centre of a resurrection storm isn’t the only one who has been previously linked to Pastor Alph Lukau.

Pastor Lukau from the Alleluia International Ministries made headlines this week after he supposedly resurrected a man from the dead.

Social media was quick to find Elliot eating a meal after the astonishing “miracle” and followed up that detective work, with further pictures that seemed to show him taking photos on behalf of the church at earlier events.

Now it appears a second man has been linked to previous photos of Lukau. The white male who is captured with a shocked look on his face also has social media convinced they have identified him.

Three images have been found that seem to suggest the man was not just a casual visitor to the church on Sunday, but that he too may instead have had some type of previous relationship with the pastor.

Meanwhile,Ā Bishop Elly Mogodiri of St Oaks Global Church of Christ, in Hartebeespoort, north of Johannesburg, has opened a case of organised crime and fraud against prophet Lukau.

This comes after Alleluia InternationalĀ Ministries spoke a different tune on the resurrection and claimed the man was alive when he arrived at the church in Kramerville in Sandton.

The ministry claimed Lukau only completed a miracle that God had already started.

Church minister Busi Gaca and pastor Rochelle Kombou spoke of how the hearse driver had run away in fear after hearing rattling noises coming from inside the coffin.

The ministry now risks questions surfacing as to why Lukau told congregants that the man had died on Friday if the resurrected man was clearly breathing during the church service. In a video, the pastor can be seen laying his hands on the deceased’s stomach before he rises dramatically, gasping for air.
