PFN President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke PFN President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has advised Christians across the country to be more vigilant and prayerful before, during and after the Easter celebrations.

It urged the Federal Government to evolve a security mechanism that will strengthen the protection of lives and property of Nigerians, particularly Christians in the northern part of the country.

PFN President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, made the call in a statement by his media office.

He said it had become imperative for the government to channel its energy to avert further cases of killings, raping, kidnappings and insurgency, among other forms of insecurity.

Oke, who is also the presiding Bishop of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries and the proprietor of the Precious Cornerstone University (PCU) in Ibadan, Oyo State, regretted the level of insecurity across the country.

“Security concerns should be everybody’s business. That’s why we must all learn to be taking precautions. So, in addition to whatever security arrangements on the ground, we must all be vigilant and prayerful. Enough of this bloodshed in our country. Nigeria shall be delivered from the grip of the evil ones,” he said.
