JUST IN: Adeboye Visits Benue, Condoles With Victims

The revered man of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has expressed his sadness over the incessant killings allegedly perpetrated by herdsmen in the state.

While the General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), visited Benue state today to condole with the people over the deaths recorded during clashes between farmers and herdsmen, Adeboye said he was moved to tears over the “mindless killings” of people.

Pastor Adeboye visited Makurdi, the capital city of Benue in company of his wife, Folu to see Governor Samuel Ortom
Adeboye prayed for the people of the state, saying the state is very dear to his heart.

He also noted that he did not visit the state before President Muhammadu Buhari because of divine instruction.

“I would have been here earlier but I was praying at home and was instructed by God not to come before the president,” he said.

“Benue state is very very close to my heart, I had felt every pain you people felt and I wept when I saw you weeping.

“But of course no man of God will see a mass burial anywhere and not feel the pains of the people affected.

We want these killings to stop. Happily, we know someone who can stop it, He is the Almighty God. He does not fail or compromise. He is the God of all. We will continue to call on Him to fight this battle and you can be assured that victory will be certain.”

Ortom thanked the preacher for the visit. He also lamented the devastating effect of the killings.
