Popular Lagos pastor, Dr Chris Okafor of Mountain Of Liberation and Miracle Ministry a.k.a Liberation City, has condemned the open fire by the Nigerian Army on EndSARS protesters in Lekki tollgate, leaving many people with various degree of injuries with some reportedly dead.
The famous man of God expressed his bitterness toward steps taken by the Federal Government to stop the ongoing #EndSARS protests across the Country.
He said; “Both the Federal and State Government have not taken a meaningful attempt to look into the whole scenario because if they did, the situation would not have generated to this, where soldiers who were suppose to protect the citizens, engage unarmed youths in a fire fight leaving so many people wounded and some dead. The government has not done well at all.”
“Where in the world have we seen soldiers deployed to curtail peaceful protest by shooting at innocent souls. Not at all, I think it is high time the government begins to trace their steps in the interest of peaceful coexistence in the country.”
“This is the worst action taken by the Federal Government and until our leaders realised that, the power of the youth cannot be ignore, it is then we can say the dividend of democracy can be felt by all.”
“I sympathize with the fallen heroes and their families, because they have actually sacrifice their lives for the betterment of the country.”
“Our Government need to act fast to ensure that this action exhibited by Nigeria Army did not degenerate to another crisis,” Dr Chris Okafor warned.
