Pastor David Ibiyeomie of the Salvation Ministry has called on Nigerians particularly the northern Christians to defend themselves against terrorists.
The clergyman made the call during a sermon while reacting to the recent surge in killings and mass abductions by bandits, especially the attack on Christian worshipers in Kwara State.
Citing a biblical story of Jesus’ disciple, Peter, moving about with his master carrying a sword, Ibiyeomie urged northern Christians to buy walking sticks and attack their attackers.
He said, “Peter didn’t borrow the sword to cut the servant’s ear, it was the sword they were carrying.
“While you pray, carry a walking stick, Peter was carrying a sword because there was no walking stick. Peter carried the sword in case someone wanted to molest Jesus.
“Everybody in the northern churches, go and buy your own walking stick so when they want to attack, come out.
“This nonsense of going to attack church will stop. When they come, you too fire back. The thing wey dem de carry, you no know where them de buy am?”
The security crisis in Nigeria has taken a turn for the worse in the last few days with mass abductions and killings by terrorists.
Within the week, terrorists attacked worshipers in Kwara State, abducted government school students in Kebbi and invaded a Catholic Church in Niger State.
