Celebrities including Charles Oputa aka Charly Boy, Idris Abdulkareem, Baba Frayo and a number of students of various institutions in Nigeria, on Monday, went on a protest at the Redeemed Christian Church of God Camp ground, Km 46, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway over Leah Sharibu’s captivity and insecurity in Nigeria.
The group of protesters displayed banners of different inscriptions such as Adeboye, act like the Modecai of our time etc.
The protesters demanded that the General Overseer, Pastor E. A. Adeboye should speak up concerning the worsening security situation in Nigeria.
Idris Abdulkareem while speaking to journalists stated that if Pastor E. A. Adeboye should speak up then something will be done about Leah’s situation.
“I believe his voice will be heard and we need his voice as soon as possible”.
When asked what difference the voice of the G. O will make, he said “Leah Sharibu for goodness sake is a Christian; she’s the only girl that didn’t deny her faith in the presence of people with knives and guns that want to cut off her head. Do you know what that means? That girl is a role model for every Christian.
“I’m a Muslim, I don’t discriminate. Nigeria is a country for all of us and we want baba to speak and baba must speak”.
He also said that if the G.O does not speak they will be back.
However the National Overseer, Pastor Joseph Obayemi addressed the crowd on behalf of the General Overseer, who was not on camp ground at the time of the protest, promising to convey their message to the General Overseer.
“Your coming here is not for yourselves alone, it is for your future and the future of generation yet unborn and it’s for the glory of this country. God will bless all of you in Jesus name”.
He also asked for their permission to pray for which they consented to and then he offered prayers for them and for their intentions to be successful.
