A Nigerian pastor has been blasted for deceiving his congregation, ascending to Heaven during a powerful prayer in church.

The video online shows the pastor in white garment surrounded by church members.

As the church members prayed, the pastor ascended gradually to the roof of the building.

There was a hole in the roof and that was where the ascending pastor finally disappeared.

Carefully watching the video, you can see the ascending pastor was tied to a rope which was pulling him up.
