The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed that he wept when he visited Benue state and saw people weeping.
The revered cleric made the disclosure on Friday, while condemning the mindless killings in the state and other parts of the country.
Adeboye and his wife, Folu, visited Benue to condole with the government and people of the state over recent killings by herdsmen.
Recall that 73 persons were killed in Guma and Logo LGAs of the state on New Year’s Day, while many dozens more have been slaughtered in series of attacks after then.
Adeboye said he delayed his visit to the state and made it after the president had visited so that people would not read political meanings into it.
He condemned the killings and called for an immediate ceasing of the attacks.
Speaking on why he wept, Adeboye said,
“Of course, no man of God will see a mass burial anywhere and not feel the pains of the people affected.
“We want these killings to stop. Happily, we know someone who can stop it.
“He is the almighty God, He does not fail or compromise, He is the God of all.
“We will continue to call on Him to fight this battle and you can be assured that victory will be certain.”
The state governor, Samuel Ortom, who hosted the cleric, called for continued prayers to enable the state overcome the security challenges confronting it.
He noted that the herdsmen attacks had led to many deaths in the state and created a humanitarian crisis.
