It is very wrong to still call this evil man pastor, he should not be associated with Christ in any way. The youth outh to have killed him instantly without wasting any time. He is part of those spoiling the name of God

If killing him will stop others who are involved. it will be better but to me it will only increase their numbers.

Igbos men of GOD are dubious and most of them are ritualists in pastor’s clothing.

I knew these Niger delta militants have spiritual backings for all these atrocities they do. No one can do such work or evil if there is no pillar of support. That man is a disgrace using Christ Jesus to perpetuate evil.

Sure, militants don’t hide their juju. They do wear charms on their bodies and even on their ammunitions. That is why it is somehow difficult to get hold of them or being defeated by our soldiers.

The end is near, most of these men of God are not serving God, they are worshippers of devil! Only God knows who’s serving Him.
