Fr James Lengarin IMC, the Superior General of Consolata Missionaries, confirmed the news of the miracle and further stated that though an official document has not been issued, the congregation for the causes of saints communicated that the medical finding "is positive and has been accepted as a true miracle."During his visit to Africa following his election in August, Fr Lengarin hinted at this announcement when he said, “This is the announcement we are waiting for when this medical commission will sit in September. They have not given us the exact date but it will be early September.”
