We Are Preparing For Boko Haram — Redeemed Church
The Redeemed Christian Church of God has predicted that the violent Boko Haram sect will not last beyond 2015.
The Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Segun Adegbiji, said
the ministry was committed to safety of its members and was increasing
security measures around its branches across the country and beyond.
Adegbiji spoke on Wednesday at Redemption Camp in Ogun State during a briefing on the church’s 63rd annual convention.
The convention, with the team, ‘The All Sufficient God’, will hold from August 3 to 9, 2015.
Speaking on the recent killings of six members of the church by a
suicide bomber in Potiskum, Yobe State, Adegbiji said the insurgents had
gone beyond their boundary.
He said, “We are passionate about the safety of our members and
indeed the safety of citizens of this country. We prayed against Ebola,
that it should get out of this country and whether you believe it or
not, God answered our prayers and it left. Boko Haram is a monster and
it will be defeated this year.
“We are working on the security of our churches. If those
people should attempt to do that next time, they will be in serious
trouble.”
A member of the church’s traffic committee, Pastor Deji West, said
the church’s new auditorium in Shimawa, Ogun State was the biggest in
the world.
He said the 3 kilometres by 3 km arena would take no fewer than 12 million congregants at a time.
He said, “The current structure we have is the biggest auditorium
in the world because it will take about 12 million people at a time. In
terms of naira and kobo of what it costs, I don’t have the figure right
now.”
Responding to the issue of the perennial problem of traffic on the
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway whenever the church had programmes, the head of
the church’s international office, Mrs. Margret Boluwakole, said the
church was not to blame.
She said, “Whenever there is traffic on the road, people always blame
us. We wish to state that it is the poor state of the road that is
causing traffic jam. We don’t hold congress on the road.
“Almost every Friday, there is traffic on that road. There are several portholes on Ojodu Berger and Ibafo ends of the road.

sometimes repair the road at the expense of the church and we don’t
collect money from anybody. People should stop blaming the church”
