Bishop Wale Oke, National Deputy President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, warned that the killings of protesters by soldiers at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos on Tuesday, which is currently generating fury in the land might spell the end of the Nigeria nation.
The bishop, expressing shock on the killing of the harmless youth by armed soldiers on Tuesday, rained curses on those behind the attack.
Oke, who is the Presiding Bishop of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Ibadan, reacted on Wednesday on his instagram page describing the incident as uncalled for.
He said, “I hope this is not the beginning of the end of the nation called Nigeria. God save Nigeria.”
Quoting from the book of 2Samuel-1:19-20, Oke lamented that the beauty of the nation being the youth, had been slain. “Father, step into the matter and judge all those who are behind it and spare none, from the Number One citizen to the last; whosoever has hands in it, judge them.
“As God, the righteous One, the King of the earth, the Lord of justice, spare none of them. Let the fire they have rained upon these children, that have taken many of them out of this world prematurely, be multiplied back upon them. I pray as your prophet, hear me oh God and avenge the blood of these young ones that have been killed and the ones that have been wounded.”
The cleric, who said he had not only been supporting the Muhammadu Buhari administration but mobilised for him during the 2015 election, decried the present state of the nation.
He said the administration and its leaders should be held accountable for the blood of the youths, shed, stressing, “I am so sad to see our national flag soaked in the blood of our young ones, shed through the guns of the people we pay to protect them. Our national flag is soiled with the blood of our youth.”
Noting that the parents of the protesting youth might soon join their children on the streets, he said, “We are angry. You are killing our youth and as their parents and grandparents, we are ready to join them. If you like, kill all of us if that is what you want.”
The cleric, who accused the government of inability to contain the Boko Haram insurgents, the Fulani herdsmen, rape cases and other related matters of insecurity In the land, charged the Federal Government to launch an investigation into the Lekki killings.
He warned that those killed must not be buried in hidden shallow graves, stating, “They are our children. You have children, do you want that to happen to your children? We want to know the General who ordered the troop in. We want to know whether this has the consent of the Commander-in-Chief. It is a very sad day for Nigeria.”
