The President and Founder of Living
Faith Church Worldwide, (a.k.a. Winners Chapel) Bishop David Oyedepo has joined
the league of Nigerians who believe that the rampaging Fulani herdsmen were
being sponsored to unleash mayhem on unsuspecting citizens of the country.
Recall that unknown gunmen had
during the weekend attacked a branch of his church in Kogi State and abducted
at least three worshippers.
It was gathered that the
kidnappers stormed the church’s premises at Osara community, along Lokoja-Okene
road in Adavi Local Government Council of the State when some of its members
were rehearsing.
According to reports, the
assailants were shooting sporadically before whisking the victims to an unknown
destination.
Reacting, in a video making the
rounds on social media, Oyedepo declared that “any gang up against this church
crashes within one hour”.
The African richest pastor also
warned all evil people to steer clear of his church.
He said, “Fulani herdsmen have
become a menace, they are sponsored. I know it. There are things you think in
your room that the Lord shows to his prophet.
“I saw this government coming in
with a bloodthirsty god and I cried. The worst time in the history of Nigeria
is 2015 till now. And it is worsening day by day, the end has finally come.
“Apart from us in the Jesus
family, many have never had a smile in the last five years on our streets. We
don’t have record so we don’t know how many people have committed suicide.
“If they dash me presidency I
won’t take it. I knew that since 1984 not now. It is a very great office but
not my calling, however, in this my calling, don’t come near. Any gang up
against this church crashes within one hour”.
Some military personnel are aiding insurgency-Ejiofor, Former DSS chieftain
laments
In a related development, a former Director in the
Department of State Services (DSS) Barrister Mike Ejiofor, has decried the
emerging scenario that obviously suggests that some retired and serving
military personnel are working with Boko Haram elements to destroy the country.
Speaking on a current affairs
program, Saturday Sunrise, monitored in Lagos, he said with the level of
destruction and audacious attacks on the Nigerian Defence Academy and for
bringing down an air force aircraft, “It is obvious that some retired and
serving military personnel are aiding them.”
Ejiofor said apart from the
foreign training some of the terrorists might have received, bringing down an
aircraft and invasion of NDA without any arrest or trace almost a week after,
is an indication that they have collaborators in the military.
He, however, urged that more is
required in intelligence gathering to fish out the perpetrators of these
dastardly acts.
According to him, “We know that
some of the terrorists received training, but bringing down an aircraft and
invading the NDA without being caught speaks volumes. Bringing down an aircraft
requires the launch of a scud missile.
“These can only be achieved through
those who have received military training andexpert at such.
It is crystal clear that some
serving and retired military personnel are working for the insurgents. We need
to do more in the area of intelligence gathering to arrest the perpetrators.”
