Cleric Thanks God For Sparing His Life From Suspected Herdsmen Attack

An Abraka-based cleric, Rev. Evans Obakpolor has expressed thanks to God for sparing his life and three others from suspected Fulani herdsmen attack in Delta State.

Obakpolor, who is the zonal coordinator of Church of God Mission International Incorporated (CGMi), Abraka Zone, gave thanks on Sunday 24th March alongside his family members, friends and well-wishers.

While narrating his ordeal at the church thanksgiving, the cleric said only God could have spared their life from the suspected herdsmen attackers.

It was gathered that the cleric, his wife, son and his driver, were attacked along Benin-Evboesi Road, close to the popular Benin junction in Abraka, on their way from Edo State but narrowly escaped death by God’s providence.

Obakpolor said, “The occasion was organized to celebrate the hand of God upon our lives that spared us on the 11th of February from the hands of herdsmen. God delivered us and we decided to fix this day to appreciate him for all he has done.”

The cleric wife, Pastor Felicia thanked God for the auspicious event. She said, “God did wondrous things in our lives and I am happy that I am alive to testify. It is indeed a great day.

“The attack by those herdsmen was horrible. I would not pray for my enemies to experience what happened on the day of the attack. It was just God that brought us out. Our attackers were heartless men and people without souls that can destroy and wreck havoc.

Also speaking, Elder M.U. Ayeni,
said that members of the church were joyful that their pastor was delivered from the herdsmen.
