PFN Charges Federal Govt On Kwara Killings

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has called on the federal government to take immediate and decisive action to bring the perpetrators of killings in Kwara State to justice and to put an end to the needless waste of human lives.

In a statement, PFN’s national president, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, condemned the recent killings at the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), in Eruku town and its environs in Kwara State, just a few days ago.

He described the incident as a gory and heinous act.

He said, “This is not just a grievous assault on the sanctity of human life but also a stark manifestation of the escalating genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

“This tragic incident is a direct test of the credibility and resolve of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s administration.

“It is also a calculated attempt to destabilise the peace and unity of our nation.

“We urge President Tinubu to rise to the occasion and demonstrate unwavering leadership in the face of these challenges.

“The PFN commiserate with the President and members of the Christ Apostolic Church, particularly Pastor Samuel Olusegun Oladele, the entire CAC family worldwide, His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the people of Eruku and Kwara state at large. Our hearts are heavy, and our prayers are with all those affected by this senseless violence.”

Bishop Oke also urged all Nigerians to remain vigilant, united and prayerful as we navigate these trying times.

“The PFN remains committed to promoting peace, justice and the sanctity of life. We are praying and we will continue to pray for divine guidance for our President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our leaders, that God may grant them the wisdom and courage to take the necessary steps to restore security and protect the lives of all citizens and do that which is right for the inhabitants of Nigeria.”
