The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said he and his prayer warriors will not rest in prayers until perpetrators of rape are brought to justice all over the world.
MERIDIAN SPY reported Sunday, 21-year-old Grace Oshiagwu who was raped and murdered by unknown men on Saturday afternoon, in a church close to her parents’ residence in Ibadan.
This, amidst the many other rape cases whose perpetrators are yet to be brought to justice, including Vera Uwaila Omozuwa in Benin and Barakat Bello in Ibadan, amongst others.
During a live programme on Dove TV on Sunday, Adeboye stated that rape had become rampant in the society.
He said, even though he personally detest death sentence, “every form of punishment that will be given to a rapist cannot be considered too severe”.
“My prayer warriors and I will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of this evil are brought to justice, not only in Nigeria but all over the world,” said the RCCG Genereal Overseer.
“Everyone who has ever committed rape, particularly in Nigeria and other parts of the world, the all-knowing God will fish them out.
“As much as I hate death sentence, I think every form of punishment that will be given to a rapist cannot be considered too severe.
“Anyone who thinks of raping someone again, the Almighty God will stop them, even before they do so. And if they insist, God will take them away.
READ ALSO Jilli Airstrike: Supporters Of Terrorists Will Be Treated As Bandits, Defence Minister Warns Defence Minister Christopher Musa has warned that supporters of terrorists would be treated as criminals. He said this on Monday as he reacted to the airstrike carried out by the Nigerian Air Force airstrike in Jilli, Borno State, over the weekend. Speaking after an expanded security meeting in Kaduna with the state governor and heads of security agencies, Musa said the operation sends a clear message to those collaborating with terrorist groups. He stressed that anyone found supporting insurgents would face the same consequences as the perpetrators. “A friend of a thief is a thief,” he said, warning civilians against associating with or providing any form of assistance to terrorists. Musa urged residents to steer clear of areas known to be used by insurgents, noting that proximity or collaboration could have grave consequences. The airstrike, carried out near the village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area, targeted what the military described as an ISWAP enclave and logistics hub. According to the Nigerian Air Force, the operation was intelligence-driven and aimed at neutralising terror elements and destroying their equipment. However, reports have emerged alleging that the strike may have affected a weekly market in the area, with civilians, including cross-border traders, reportedly among casualties. Musa, however, maintained that the strike should serve as a strong warning to those aiding insurgent activities, reaffirming the military’s resolve to intensify operations against terrorist networks. Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, conducted a precision air strike on a known terrorist enclave and logistics hub located near the abandoned village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State. Giving an update on the airstrike, the Nigerian Army in a post on its official X handle said, “The successful strike, executed on 11 April 2026, followed sustained intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions over the Bindul–Jilli axis, an area long identified as a major terrorist movement corridor and convergence point for Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists and their collaborators.”
“I am calling on every Christian all over the world to please join me in this prayer,” he said.
The cleric further urged the Christian faithful not to embrace the spirit of “good enough” because it could be an enemy of greatness.
“Your journey to the top begins when you start sensing that what you call ‘good’ is not enough. The greatest enemy is when you think that you are already great while you are still incomplete,” he stated.
“Your journey to the top begins when you become aware that God reserves the best till the last. The journey to the top begins from your knees and acknowledging Christ as your lord and saviour.”
