In a bid to end incessant killings in the country, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, is expected to lead members of the church on a prayer walk today. The prayer walk is expected to start around 10 a.m. and the general overseer, as well as other leaders of the church, are expected to lead the procession from the church’s national headquarters in Ebute-Meta, Lagos State. Adeboye had directed all members of the church to participate in the prayer and fasting programme as well as the prayer walk declared by the Christian Association of Nigeria to address a spate of killings across the country. Ayokunle had announced that apart from the three-day prayer session, Christians would also embark on what he called a special prayer walk in all states on February 2. “Parishes with functional social media handles are enjoined to publicise this prayer and advocacy using appropriate captions and hashtags.”Ayokunle had, while announcing the prayer and fasting programme, claimed that Christians had become endangered species in Nigeria.
