Francis Otuu, a follower of [Deeper Life Church](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deeper_Life_Church), asserted that a Christian who wears natural hair in a manner he deems “worldly and ungodly” could be condemned to hell, according to statements made after a church dispute.
He said the claim followed criticism directed at fellow member Esther Onyelu Chukwuka for displaying her long natural hair, which he described as worldly. Otuu also recounted a dream in which a sister missed the rapture because of the way she had plaited her natural hair, emphasizing that appearance can affect spiritual destiny.
The member further alleged that Esther had applied chemical substances to her hair, implying that such alterations also breach biblical standards. No official church statement has been released to confirm or refute Otuu’s remarks.
**What did Francis Otuu claim about natural hair?**
Otuu maintains that natural hair, when styled in a way that appears secular or fashionable, may render a believer vulnerable to eternal punishment, a view he linked to personal anecdotes and perceived scriptural teachings.
