Popular gospel singer and pastor Nathaniel Bassey celebrated his 44th birthday with inmates at the Kirikiri Medium Security Prison in Lagos.
Bassey made this known on Tuesday through his Instagram account, where he revealed that the event will feature a special one-day edition of his well-known worship movement, the Halleluyah Challenge.
“Tomorrow for my birthday, I praise and celebrate with my brethren in prison,” he wrote, sharing his plans to lead the inmates in worship and prayer.
The Halleluyah Challenge, which began in 2017, has grown into one of the biggest online prayer and worship gatherings across Africa. Each edition brings together thousands of participants nightly for an hour of praise and worship, with many sharing testimonies of healing, deliverance, and answered prayers afterward.
The birthday celebration at the prison is expected to feature singing, prayers, and words of encouragement, as Bassey takes his worship outreach to those behind bars.
