“Go and do juju! Faith alone is not enough” — Pastor tells congregation ahead of bandit attack

 

A pastor has sparked outrage online after advising his church members to “go and do juju” as protection against possible bandit attacks.

The cleric, who spoke passionately during a sermon, insisted that spiritual fortification was necessary, arguing that he could not be the only one protected while his congregation remained vulnerable.

“My people need to strengthen themselves spiritually”

In his words:

“My people need to strengthen themselves spiritually. I can’t be fortified alone while my members remain exposed. In moments of danger, faith must be backed with preparedness.”

He went on to justify his controversial instruction, telling members that prayers alone were not enough in the face of rising insecurity.

According to him:

“I’m a true man of God. Go and do juju so that when they bring gun to your place, let the guns face themselves. Or use stick to pursue them. If they are coming to your church, they should die before they get there. Go and do it o. All my church members must do it — if they don’t, I’ll pursue them. I can’t be fortified while my church members are not. I’m a good shepherd.”

He also referenced past incidents in Kaduna and other locations, claiming that some Christians who called the name of Jesus during attacks still died because “Jesus said until you get to heaven.”

The pastor added that he oversees multiple branches in America, the UK, and Nigeria.
