Emmanuel Beluzebr Suurkure and Brother Sammy
President of the Ghana Network of Persons Living With HIV/AIDS (NAP+Ghana), Emmanuel Beluzebr Suurkure, has challenged gospel artiste Brother Sammy over a product he claims can cure HIV/ AIDS.
According to him, if Brother Sammy can mix DDT with water he claims “is a miracle water to cure HIV, then authorities should use him for clinical trials before allowing others to use it.”
Speaking in an interview with NEWS-ONE at his office in Accra, he said, “Brother Sammy should be injected with the HIV anti-bodies for six months and when he’s confirmed after the injection, they should allow him to use his so-called concoction DDT and water, and he should drink it for the world to see and if he is cured, he can go ahead to sell the substance to others.”
Reacting to a recent video of Brother Sammy which has since gone viral, Mr. Suurkure indicated that they are now fed up with the deviant behaviours of some pastors, musicians, herbalists and ‘malams’ who are parading themselves as people who have the cure for HIV without proof and are left to go scot-free by authorities.
Their behaviour, he bemoaned, has caused great damage to persons living with HIV in Ghana.
“Many of the people living with HIV die or default their anti-retroviral drugs medication indiscriminately without cause which is as a result of these misconducts,” he revealed.
Mr. Suurkure maintained that others die mysteriously after taking some of these purported concoctions while others are maltreated in some churches “and die they die in the process”.
“We are now fed up with their actions and call for urgent action to be taken by the authorities to arrest such persons claiming they have HIV cure in the country but do not have any scientific proof from the Food & Drugs Authority or any approval and authorisation of such claims from the Ghana AIDS Commission,” he added angrily.
Brother Sammy was recently arrested by the Food & Drugs Authority (FDA), in collaboration with the Ashanti Regional Police Command, over a product he claims can cure HIV/AIDS.
His arrest followed a video advertisement which has since gone viral, in which he claimed his ‘Spiritual Healing Water’ when mixed with DDT could cure HIV/AIDS.
Brother Sammy, who calls himself ‘the nation worshipper’ in showbiz circles, had been promoting the said water and DDT for weeks until his arrest. According to him, the medicine can cure HIV/AIDS, asthma, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B, diabetes and even cancer.
In the said video, the gospel musician was seen mixing DDT with his ‘holy water’ and entreated Ghanaians to purchase it since it could even cure people who have the deadly disease.
