Like Apostle Suleiman, another pastor urges Christians to “own a sword” in defence against Fulani herdsmen
The General Overseer of Trinity Gospel Mission in Delta State has reportedly urged Christians to defend themselves against rampaging Fulani herdsmen.
The pastor, Desmond Emuobor, reportedly said Christians needed to “own a sword and defend themselves” while reacting to ongoing killings in Southern Kaduna on Wednesday.
Emuobor echoes fellow pastor, Apostle Suleiman’s call for Christians to “kill and behead any Fulani herdsman who enters her by mistake.”
He reportedly said in Ughelli: “Christians should defend themselves and he who has no sword, should sell his coat and buy one to defend himself. We are all human beings, nobody should catch you like a snail and slaughter because you believe in Jesus Christ.
“We all would not die and those of us, who are alive, have the right to defend ourselves. Jesus says in the Book of Luke that those who have no sword should sell their coats and buy one for the defence of their lives.”
Emuobor, who cited the attacks as an attempt to wipe out Christianity, implored President Muhammadu Buhari to rise to the aid of vulnerable Christians, especially in the northern part of the country.
Hundreds of Christians have reportedly fallen victims to brutal killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Southern Kaduna crisis.
