The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has described the recent killings that occurred at the Christ Apostolic Church (C.A.C), Oke-Isegun in Eruku town and its environs in Kwara State as a manifestation of the escalating genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

In a statement, PFN National President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke 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 destabilize 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.

“We commiserate with the President and members of the Christ Apostolic Church, particularly Pastor Samuel Olusegun Oladele, the entire C.A.C family worldwide, 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 called on the Federal Government to take immediate and decisive action to bring the perpetrators of this evil act to justice and to put an end to the needless waste of human lives.

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

He emphasized further, “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 inhabitants of Nigeria.” (Vanguard)
