Punish perpetrators of Uromi killings, others – PFN charges FG

The President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Francis Wale Oke, has condemned the killings in Edo State and other parts of the country, insisting that all perpetrators must be brought to justice.

He referenced the recent killing of 16 travelers in Uromi, Edo State, by of a Vigilante Group and called for fairness and justice in handling the matter.

Speaking to journalists at the Cornerstone City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ibadan on Thursday, Bishop Wale Oke stressed the need for urgent action to stop the wave of mindless killings across the nation.

“PFN condemns the killings in Edo State, where people were mistaken for kidnappers and attacked. We categorically denounce such acts. Every Nigerian should have the freedom to move safely across the country,” he said.

The cleric urged Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo and Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf to work together in identifying and prosecuting the perpetrators, emphasizing that lives are sacred and must be protected.

“I urge Governors Yusuf and Okpebholo to ensure that there are no reprisals or escalations of violence. The evil has been done, and two wrongs do not make a right. Retaliation must be avoided,” he added.

Bishop Wale Oke also called for the same level of commitment in tackling killings across other states, including Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Ondo, Ekiti, and the Southeast.

He reiterated the need for state police to address insecurity, stating that vigilante groups should not be the primary security providers.

Additionally, the PFN president commended President Bola Tinubu for his leadership and extended birthday wishes to him.

“So far, so good. The president has been doing exceptionally well despite the numerous challenges he inherited—security, economic, political, and educational issues. He has been making commendable efforts, and we appreciate his courage and pragmatism,” he said.

I hope the do same to the Bandits disturbing Benue and parts of Enugu

But when the Fulani herdsmen attack and kill people in the southern parts of Nigeria..you do not condemn their artrocities and killngs but you will keep quiet and feel unconcerned and do not ask for them to be punished and presecuted ..it's a pity

One day one day, very very soon... May those bandits locate you and the other fovls, then you too will feel the heat.

This is why any time I hear say Dem kidnapped pastor I don't say pim, because those guys are totally useless

Pfn...when dey re ki#ling even recently in benue nd enugu...nobody hear orna voice..

Meanwhile, not Sultan of Sokoto, the head of Islam in Nigeria, said similar thing when Deborah incinerated.

I am totally against the gruesome killings of those travellers. However, where was PFN, when herders were committing genocide against communities in edo,enugu,benue,plateau,ondo etc. Goodmorning to PFN foe just waking up.

For goodness sake this people were caught with what the shouldn't be with,what are the doing with gun and stash of cash.Bleep stupid people everywhere.

Hippocratic comments everywhere🤨

Philosopher Hippocrate of blessed memory will be angry at you for calling all these unintelligent comments Hippocratic. Maybe you wanted saying hypocritic though.

This country is a definition of crazy. When terrorists kill vigilantes, other people or christians, all big wigs keep quiet, but when vigilantes kill terrorists, the big wigs and Christian leaders go about begging, kneeling, appeasing and apologizing. This is an indicator that the bigwigs and top christian and muslim organizations are the ones sponsoring the terrorists. It's very obvious for the blind to see.

While Eha-amaufu massacre terrorists are being covered by every public office holder. May everyone in position of fighting crime but choose to be blind in the name of politics have a personal experience from these terrorists.
