This came after two prominent monarchs were accosted and killed by unknown gunmen in Ekiti state. The palace of Olukoro of Koro in Ekiti local government area of Kwara state was also invaded, and the traditional ruler of the community, General Segun Aremu (rtd), was killed.
Reacting, Adeboye said:
“The fire of God will consume all those trying to mess around with our traditional rulers. Because as far as God is concerned, traditional rulers are anointed.”
Omokri disagrees with Adeboye
In a series of tweets on his X account on Sunday, February 4, Omokri backed Senator Ned Nwoko's bill allowing Nigerians to carry firearms for self-protection.
The PDP chieftain tweeted:
"I am afraid I will have to strongly disagree with Pastor Adeboye. No "Fire of God will consume all those trying to mess around with our traditional rulers." The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God is a much loved and respected elder in the Lord. However, we cannot keep outsourcing to God what He has equipped us to deal with by ourselves. That is complacency and fatalism. And faith without works is dead!
"We call upon the God of Israel to deal with kidnappers and bandits. But Israel, whose God we call upon, calls upon their army to deal with their own version of kidnappers and bandits.
"Miracles are for things we cannot do for ourselves. What was God's response to Moses? "The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?”-Exodus 4:2.
"Nigeria ought to answer that question God asked Moses."
