VIDEO: Ugandan Pastor Runs Mad After Attempting to Pray and Deliver a Mad Man

A bizarre scene said to have unfolded on a busy street has left residents talking, after a pastor who set out to cast out a “spirit of madness” from a mentally ill man allegedly ended up losing his own composure in the process.

According to accounts circulating on social media, the pastor approached the man, who is known locally for wandering the area and showing signs of mental illness, and began praying loudly over him. Witnesses say he laid hands on the man’s head and pressed on with the prayers even as the man grew agitated and tried to pull away.

What started as a routine deliverance session soon turned into a scuffle. The man reportedly pushed back against the pastor’s repeated attempts to touch his head, and an argument broke out between the two. Onlookers who gathered to watch the commotion say the pastor kept shouting prayers, undeterred, until something shifted.

Several people at the scene claim that the pastor suddenly began behaving erratically himself, shouting incoherently and, according to some accounts, tearing off his clothes. Bystanders reportedly stood in shock, unsure whether they were witnessing a spiritual battle or a mental breakdown.

By the time the crowd dispersed, opinions were split. Some insisted the pastor had been struck by the very spirit he was trying to cast out. Others suggested the whole episode was simply a case of a stressful, chaotic encounter getting the better of him.

It’s worth noting that stories like this one have surfaced repeatedly across parts of Nigeria, Ghana, and Uganda over the years, often shared as viral videos with few verified details about when or where they actually happened. This particular account has not been independently confirmed, and no official statement has been issued by police, church authorities, or health officials.

Whatever the truth behind it, the story has reignited a familiar conversation online about the risks of forced deliverance sessions involving people with mental illness, and the need for compassionate, professional care rather than public spectacle.
