The Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo has reacted to Tuesday’s killing of priests and worshipers at a Catholic Church in Benue State by suspected herdsmen.
DAILY POST reports that Reverend Fathers Gor Joseph and Felix were on Tuesday morning hacked down when the suspected herdsmen attacked the village.
Osinbajo, who spoke to newsmen at the inauguration of the Deeper Life Bible Church new auditorium in Gbagada, described the killings of Rev. father and others as a ploy to cause religious war.
He stated that it is sacrilegious for wicked minds to kill in a place of worship.
“The killings in the church was a ploy by the devil to cause religious war in Nigeria.
“While the security agencies continued to work to bring the perpetrators to book, the body of Christ must not lose focus, but must do more in propagating the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“Nobody can stop the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord is building his church and the gate of hell cannot prevail against the church,” Osinbajo said.
The Vice President called on the church to pray for the nation and the government, stating that running a government is like a spiritual warfare.
