Election season is fast becoming a season of viral videos, first it was Father Ejike Mbaka now Bishop David Oyedepo preaching at Living Faith Church, Lagos angrily advocating death for the Boko Haram terrorists in Northern Nigeria and asking his members to rise up against the terrorist group and defend themselves from attack.
“God has anointed me to lead a revolution against Islamic jihadists,” Oyedepo is seen heatedly shouting to his congregation in the YouTube clip. “If you catch anyone that looks like them – kill him! Kill him and pull out his neck. I will spill his blood on the ground. What nonsense!”
“What Islamic demons,” the influential cleric continued, his entire message interspersed with loud ‘praying in tongues’. “If Nigeria waits for the church to rise, Nigeria will disappear as a nation. You mean government cannot protect people? What a mess… Even the president said they (Boko Haram) have infiltrated his government. To do what? Must the North continue to rule? What devils!”
“Therefore, the roots of Boko Haram – whether from Sudan or Saudi Arabia – become rotten today! I stand today with every anointing on me and I declare the Boko Haram camp cursed! I declare their collaborators cursed! I decree their sponsors cursed!”
It is unclear when this message was preached. And these comments were made as part of a preaching on “Bringing down the fire like Elijah”.
