The Redeemed Christian Church of God’s (RCCG) General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, denounced the killing of Nigeria’s traditional leaders and made it apparent that those who wish to overthrow the monarchy will not will not find peace.
At the church’s monthly Holy Ghost Service programme, “From The Mountain Top 2,” the well-known pentecostal preacher declared, “The fire of God will consume all those trying to mess around with our traditional rulers.”
Adeboye uttered the strange response, “Because as far as God is concerned, traditional rulers are anointed,” in response to the murderous marauders that had killed three traditional rulers in only four days.
Following a meeting in Irele-Ekiti, Ekiti State, South-West Nigeria, on Monday, Oba Olatunde Olusola, the Onimojo of Imojo-Ekiti, and Oba David Ogunsola, the Elesun of Esun-Ekiti, were assassinated. Several students and instructors were also abducted in the well-coordinated attacks.

On Thursday, the gunmen returned with the brutal death of Koro’s Olukoro, General Segun Aremu (retd), in the Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara state.
The former army general was shot and killed at his palace on Thursday night.
In response to the ongoing calls from Nigerians for prompt justice and an end to the nation’s murderous and abduction epidemic, security agencies, including the police, have sent an armoured carrier and a helicopter to Ekiti, promising to hold those responsible accountable.
The settlement of Koro, which borders Ikole Ekiti, is where two traditional rulers were killed by mauling on Monday. The two communities’ shared farm boundaries raise questions about the foreboding nature of the gunmen’s stone-cold execution of the traditional rulers.
