Renowned Nigerian pastor Reverend Isaac Omolehin has made a shocking revelation, saying he currently shelters eight mentally ill women, along with their babies, in his home.
The respected cleric made the revelation during a recent interview shared by Lawrence Oyor, giving a vivid account of his efforts to care for the women and transform their lives.
“You come to my house now and you will find eight mad women with their babies living with me,” he said. Omolehin recounted the story of one of them, Rashida, who had trekked from Ibadan to Ilorin over four years, wandering the streets naked. “We found her on the street, took her home, trimmed her hair, creamed her, and gave her a change of clothes,” he said.
The pastor recalled how, after discovering Rashida was from Ibadan, he and his team set out to find her family. “When we finally located them, her father and mother, who already had three children, came weeping. They said she had left home and didn’t know her way back. She had been wearing the same dress for four years,” Omolehin said.
Today, Rashida has turned her life around. She owns a supermarket, uses her earnings to support her children, and is also an active member of the church choir.
Reflecting on his work, Isaace Omolehin explained his motivation: “The missionaries that came to Africa set up schools and hospitals. They added good works to their good news. I want God to bless you, so you can be a blessing to others. That’s why I have eight mad women living with me — to care for them and give them a future.”
