The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev Father Ejike Mbaka has called for an end to inter-religious and intra-religious war.
The cleric stated this while reacting to the killing of Deborah Samuel, a 200-level student of Shagari College of Education in Sokoto accused of alleged blasphemy.
Mbaka called on Christians to rise and defend their faith, asking how many of the people who insulted Jesus had been killed.
He said if Nigeria is going to be one country, it should be and if not everyone should go home.
Mbaka while speaking at the Adoration ground on Sunday said, “They have killed this child. They accused her of insulting Mohammed and killed her.
“This is what I have been saying. Christians are facing lots of battles. Christians should not begin to fight among themselves.
“Interreligious and intra-religious war should stop. Inter and Intra denominational war should stop. I am pleading with those who are fighting against Fr Mbaka and the Adoration Ministry to go to Sokoto and fight those who killed one of our daughters.
“Should that girl be killed? Every Christian should rise and defend our faith. The hour has come. It’s a challenge of faith. How many of them that insulted Jesus have been killed?
“Is it still one country? If Nigeria is going to be one country let it be, but if this is what we are going to be experiencing let everybody go home. I said it last Sunday and I am repeating it again.”
