Christian Genocide: Christian Community Would No Longer Remain Silent
The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has expressed deep concern over what it described as the systematic killing, rape, and displacement of Christians in various parts of the country, insisting that Nigeria is witnessing an ongoing Christian genocide.
PFN National President, Bishop Wale Oke, issued the warning during a dinner organised to commemorate the Fellowship’s 40th anniversary.
He declared that the Christian community would no longer remain silent in the face of persistent assaults on Christian populations and urged the Federal Government to take decisive action to halt the violence.
“Our members, in their millions, intercede for this nation every single day. In our homes, churches, assemblies and services, we fast and pray for Nigeria. The impact of PFN across this country is immeasurable. Pentecostals are everywhere, in every ward, local government, and state, shining as the light of the world and contributing to national development. Our greatest weapon is spiritual,” Oke said.
The dinner also saw President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and Vice President Kashim Shettima pay tribute to the PFN for its sustained prayers and contributions to national stability.
Speaking on behalf of the President, Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Dr Daniel Bwala, acknowledged that many Christian communities continue to face severe challenges on account of their faith.
“My administration recognises that there are communities in Nigeria that, because of their faith, have faced serious difficulties. We acknowledge the challenges, and we recognise that Christians have also been victims of violence. The loss of any life is regrettable,” Bwala said.
He urged Nigerians to remain prayerful, assuring that the government remains committed to ensuring the safety of all citizens.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
