The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has paid a condolence visit to Benue State.
Adeboye, who was in Benue on Friday, pleaded for God’s intervention over the killings in the state and the country at large.
The cleric has for the past two months been leading his church members on intercessory prayer on the debilitating menace of herdsmen killings and kidnapping.
The general overseer accompanied by his wife, Folu, visited the state to sympathise with Governor Samuel Ortom over the attacks.
He said he wept with so much pain in his heart as he saw the people of the state weeping.
He said, “We have felt every pain you have felt. We have wept when we saw you weeping. As a matter of fact, there is no way a man of God will not feel the pain when he sees mass burial anywhere. Some of those people are our children and some are not yet converted, so we suffer a double loss. When somebody is dead, you can’t convert that person. That is why we want these killings to stop. The Almighty God who doesn’t play pranks or compromise can stop it.
“We will call on God to fight this battle that we cannot fight. I’m here to pray for the state that the helper of the helpless will fight our battle.
“We will ask God to arise and put an end to this bloodshed. Let there be peace in Nigeria as a whole. There will be no more bloodshed in Nigeria.”
