GILBERT DEYA caught in another scam selling olive oil as cure for cancer, HIV

A preacher who calls himself the 'Archbishop of Peckham' is allegedly selling extra virgin olive oil as a miracle cure for cancer and HIV. 

Gilbert Deya and his team were said to have been caught by a newspaper selling the £1.99 750ml product from Aldi in their church shop in South London for £4.99 as a cure if used on food.

One of his associates Pastor Kamara allegedly gave an undercover couple a badly-spelled leaflet including details of ‘mystical powers’ contained including overcoming illness and debt. According to The Sun reporters Brain Flynn and Lee Sorrell, Mr Deya claims to have ‘anointed’ the oil - and Pastor Kamara explained: ‘Don’t use any oil except this and the cancer will just disappear.’

The couple went into a room where a pastor rubbed the oil into the woman’s chest, declaring it was the ‘start of your miracle’.

She was then pushed to the ground and the ‘witchcraft’ was told to leave. he miracle oil has been compared to something that could have been dreamt up by wheeler dealer Del Boy in the classic BBC comedy Only Fools and Horses, which was also set in Peckham.

Mr Deya, 63, who is pictured talking with the Queen and Prince Philip on his church’s website, has also claimed in the past that he could give infertile couples 'miracle babies'.

And he has faced a ten-year battle against extradition to his native Kenya, having been arrested in 2006 after being accused of stealing five children from the Pumwani Maternity Hospital in Nairobi.

Mr Deya has claimed since 2007 that he faces torture and inhuman and degrading treatment if sent back to the country, alleging that he is the victim of a political vendetta there. The Home Office said yesterday that it ‘continues to consider representations’ by Mr Deya’s legal team, while the Charities Commission confirmed it is investigating Gilbert Deya Ministries.

Mr Deya himself declined to comment to The Sun, saying only that he did not talk to ‘evil liars who are confused’. His church has also been contacted by MailOnline for comment today.
