Lekki killings may end Nigeria -Wale Oke

• curses those behind it

The National Deputy President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Francis Wale Oke, has warned that the Tuesday killings of protesters by soldiers at Lekki Toll Gate currently generating fury across the country, might spell the end of the Nigeria nation.

Apparently visibly shaken by the gruesome murder of the non-violent protesters by armed soldiers, the renowned cleric who is also the Presiding Bishop of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Ibadan, rained curses on those behind the termination of the innocent souls.

Reacting on Wednesday on his instagram page to the Tuesday tragedy where several protesters were killed and many injured in Lagos, he said the gory and sordid situation was uncalled for.

“I hope this is not the beginning of the end of the nation called Nigeria. God save Nigeria” the Bishop warmed

Quoting from the book of 2Samuel-1:19-20, Wale Oke lamented that the beauty of the nation being the youth, had been slain, cursing, “Father, step into 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 ”

Continuing, the Bishop said: “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 said that he has not only been supporting the Muhammadu Buhari administration, he mobilised for them during the 2015 election, decrying the present state of the nation.

The cleric said the administration and its leaders should be held accountable for the blood of the youths, shed; lamenting, “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 ”

Damning the consequences, he threatened that the parents of the protesting youth might soon join them on the street “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”

He accused the government of its inability to contain the Boko Haram insurgents, the Fulani herdsmen, rape cases and other related matters of insecurity in the land.

Wale Oke charged the Federal Government to launch a powerful investigation into the Lekki killings, warning that those killed must not be buried in some hidden shallow graves, stressing, “They are our children, you have children, do you want that to happen to your 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 very very sad day for Nigeria”
