Bishop Ajakaye
Bishop of Ekiti Catholic Diocese, Most Reverend Felix Ajakaye, on Sunday spoke of how he narrowly survived Police Brutality.
Ajakaye, who spoke at the thanksgiving service marking the second year tenure of Governor Kayode Fayemi described the present EndSARS nationwide protests as agitations against incompetent and dishonest leadership in the country.
Ajakaye said this on Sunday in his sermon entitled: ‘The Journey of Faith: Success Without Worthy Successor is Failure in Reality’.
Addressing the congregation, Bishop Ajakaye appealed to the protesters to ceasefire and allow the government to act on their five-point demands.
“They should also bear in mind that there are police that are not brutal. On July 30, 2020, police accosted me in Adebayo area. If you saw how they treated me, I thank God I was not killed, if I had been killed , a lot would have been said. If they could do that to a man in cassock, what would they do to ordinary man. Though, I told the police, but nothing was done till today.”(Text, excluding headline, courtesy Daily Independent)
