Tobi Bakre blasted for lifting Pastor Jimmy Odukoya on church altar
A viral video featuring Nollywood star Tobi Bakre and Pastor Jimmy Odukoya has sparked mixed reactions after the actor surprised the preacher with a visit to his church.
In the clip, Pastor Jimmy, who was once an actor and the son of the late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya, acknowledged Tobi’s presence and invited him to the altar during the church service.
The surprising moment came when Tobi, after being warmly welcomed to the altar, lifted Pastor Jimmy off the ground in a playful gesture.
The unexpected act immediately triggered a wave of reactions online, as some found the light-hearted moment charming, while others questioned the appropriateness of such behaviour in a church setting.
“@tobibakre oh 😂😂 My prayer for everyone is that God will carry you like this month in Jesus name ! 😂🙏🏾,” the preacher captioned the video.
The video, which has since gone viral, has drawn a variety of comments from social media users. Some praised the genuine friendship between the two men while others expressed concerns about the line between reverence and playfulness in a religious setting.
