HUMAN ANGELS

In the post, the King of Urban Gospel added that he lost consciousness while driving but two human angels followed his swerving car with their emergency blinkers onto stop traffic and drove behind him until his car crashed into the middle concrete island.

He added that he could not remember anything else except those two angels pulling him out of the passenger’s side of the crumbled totaled car. Airbags deployed…crushed metal and Fiberglas!!

In his statement confirming that he will still perform in Nairobi on Saturday at Two Rivers Mall, the singer said that he knows that God has a purpose for him and it is going to be a powerful thing in Nairobi.
