Another newspaper, PM News, reported that the preacher said he would not wear gloves to do so but would lay his bare hands on the patient to receive healing. The cleric also faulted people who wear hand gloves and face masks to protect themselves from contracting the virus, wondering why they do not usually do the same while eating. He reportedly said the devil is trying to dehumanize humanity with the COVID-19, but noted that as a preacher, his mandate is to liberate human beings from all harassment of the devil.
