Rape and murder occurred in RCCG church amidst coronavirus
pandemic and a great disgrace has been brought to Christendom, yet church
leaders have not read the handwriting on the wall. Since the history of
Nigeria’s amalgamation in 1914, for the first time a virgin girl was tied,
gagged, blindfolded, raped, filmed and murdered in a church in Nigeria.-and
everything is wrong with it.
People have been killed in churches. In 2011, Jihadist
Christmas bomber attacked St Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madalah, Niger State
and killed over fifty worshipers. Churches have been bombed in Nigeria. In
2017, South African based drug barons carried their killing spree into St Philips
Catholic Church,Ozubulu, Anambra State and in the process thirteen worshippers
were shot dead , even though propagandists blamed herdsmen. .
These are different aspects of desecration of worship places
in Nigeria during conflicts, but never had someone been raped and killed in a
church during peacetime. This is the initial results of the abdication of the
spiritual edge of the church in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
