Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has issued a strong declaration that Nigeria will never become an Islamic state, despite the recent wave of violent attacks and kidnappings targeting Christian communities.
Speaking during a church service, Oyedepo condemned the killings and abductions that occurred in the past week, including the murder of five worshippers and the kidnapping of 35 persons, whose captors reportedly demanded ₦100 million in ransom.
The cleric accused extremist elements of attempting to destabilize Christian communities and vowed that their plans would fail. He invoked curses on those responsible for the violence and urged Christians to remain steadfast.
Oyedepo’s Statement
“Nigeria will never become an Islamic state.
The Church of Christ in Nigeria is indestructible.
Every perpetrator and their sponsors come under a curse today.
In the camp of the wicked, there shall be catastrophe.”
He assured congregants that prayer would provoke divine intervention, insisting that those behind the attacks would face disaster.
