    How God led me to burn a pair of shoes that was used to monitor me – Seyi Law

    Controversial Nigerian comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, also known as Seyi Law, has opened up on how he burnt a pair of shoes that was being used to monitor him in his home.

    Speaking via X, he wrote, “I wish it was only a mirror they could use to monitor someone sha. One must be very careful of gifts.

    “On the 2nd March 2016, I had a vigil in my room, and as I prayed, God told me there was something in my house that they were using to monitor me and I found out it was a pair of shoes someone gifted me. My wife took it out and burnt it. Prior to that day, I always doubted people who said God spoke to them.

    “I was awakened from my sleep around 5 am on the 3rd March by a voice that told me to write down what I was hearing. I wrote them, and when my eyes cleared and I read what I wrote, I turned and told my wife that she was pregnant. She doubted it until days later when we confirmed.

    “Fast forward, we had my daughter and on the day of her dedication, a prophet told me God has removed what they were using to monitor me in my home and that the person would never step in my house again. The person hasn’t stepped a foot in my house ever again, no matter my invitations. @OfficialArole was another person God used for me. I am ever grateful for him.

    “My darling daughter is my evidence of God being our own in my home. My mother’s mini copy. They almost killed her in the womb, but God said no. They mocked her after she was born, but God has given her beauty for their ashes. To God Almighty I return all the glory. Aye o nimu wa o. Amen.”
