Veteran Nigerian comedian IGoSave has publicly criticised actress Tonto Dikeh following a controversial deliverance session she conducted at a primary school.

 

The backlash began after videos surfaced online showing the actress leading a deliverance exercise involving pupils during an evangelism visit to the school on Friday, March 6, 2026.

 

According to Tonto Dikeh, she and her team had visited the school for evangelism when she sensed what she described as a “spirit of death” around the environment, prompting her to conduct a deliverance session with the pupils.

 

Reacting to the incident, IGoSave questioned why the actress chose to focus on a young school pupil instead of confronting politicians he claimed were responsible for the country’s challenges.

 

“Na small girl wey dey primary school you see to go deliver. You leave the many politicians piloting this country into poverty and milking our national treasures that are your friends,” he said.

 

The comedian also accused the actress of seeking attention and suggested that the act may have been done for online visibility.

 

“I know you like seeking attention, but please calm down. We never really even sure say this your calling dem even pick am sef. You don dey go shook finger for the small girl eyes in the name of healing. Abi na YouTube missionary views hustle you don start so?” he added.

 

The incident has sparked widespread debate on social media, with many users expressing concern for the young girl involved in the viral session and questioning the motives behind the exercise.
