Brother Sammy
Gospel musician Brother Sammy, born Samuel Opoku, has admitted lying about his HIV/AIDS medicine.
Brother Sammy has now confessed that the medicine was not given to him by God as he proclaimed earlier.
A month ago, the musician’s video went viral following his claims of having a cure for a number of chronic diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
The artiste revealed his ‘divine healing water’ (water mixed with a substance suspected to be DDT) was sent to him by God.
However, speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM Wednesday, he admitted to lying about the source of his medicine.
He told Andy Dosty, host of the show, that his HIV/AIDS cure is his grandparent’s invention.
Brother Sammy explained that he took on the task to sell the drug because his grandparent (he did not specify the gender) is weak and cannot help people with the drug like he used to.
He said he told a lie about the source of the drug.
The ‘Aduro Bia Nkadem’ composer admitted that he made a mistake deceiving Ghanaians about the origin of the drug.
In June, the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), with assistance from the Ashanti Regional Police, arrested of gospel artiste for selling the unauthorised ‘healing water’.
However, in a statement, the FDA urged the general public to stay away from the ‘healing water’.
