Benue crisis: Politicians arming herders with AK-47 – Pastor Giwa

The Senior Pastor of The Second Coming of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa, on Sunday said the affairs of Nigeria has been handed over to foreigners and criminals.

Reacting to the killings in Benue State, Pastor Giwa blamed the attacks on politicians who are benefitting from armed Fulani herders.

In a statement he issued, the clergyman alleged that politicians are arming the herders with AK-47.

The cleric said, “On Benue massacre, we have handed over the affairs of Nigeria into the hands of criminals. Is it possible to put an armed robber in charge of money in the banks?

“No! Nigeria has handed over the affairs of the nation into the hands of foreigners who want to finish everything before the expiration of their term.

“We are hypocrites, and that’s why it seems God doesn’t answer our prayers. We turn black to white and yellow to purple. God doesn’t stay in an environment full of lies and deceit. Because His nature is inherently holy and separate from sin and evil.

“Who brought Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, and other terrorists to Nigeria? Who? Are they not politicians? Let me tell you this: it’s difficult to send these Fulani herdsmen away because politicians themselves benefit from their activities.

“Most of them are into cattle business, putting terrorists in charge of it and buying them AK-47 rifles. Do you want such politicians to display justice?

“No; my concern is the souls of innocent Nigerians they are wasting on a daily basis.”
