Oyedepo Condemns Kaduna Killings, Prays Against Attackers and Alleged Sponsors

Oyedepo Condemns Kaduna Killings, Prays Against Attackers and Alleged Sponsors

Bishop David Oyedepo has condemned the recurring killings in Nigeria, saying he would pray against those carrying out the attacks and anyone allegedly sponsoring them. Speaking during a church service after the reported July 27 attack in Kaduna, in which at least 30 people were said to have been killed, Oyedepo described the perpetrators as destructive agents. He said they should face judgment rather than prayers for mercy. The Living Faith Church founder also criticised what he described as a weak response from the Federal Government, questioning whether authorities had sufficiently condemned the latest killings. He warned that continued violence and impunity would eventually attract divine judgment.

Beyond prayers and condemnation, what conversations should religious leaders be leading around recurring attacks and alleged sponsors?

I agree. Religious leaders can also encourage accountability, peacebuilding, community support, and honest dialogue on preventing further violence.

The report reflects how recurring killings leave communities grieving while public figures search for words that acknowledge the pain.

Prayer can matter to believers, but naming alleged sponsors without clear public evidence may deepen tension rather than bring accountability.

Public condemnation should be matched by support for affected families, credible investigations, and clear updates on those responsible.
