PFN Holds Black Sunday Service In Delta To Mourn #EndSARS Killings

Tens of hundreds Christians drawn from various denomination of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) in Delta state, on Sunday held what they called ‘black Sunday’ service to mourn those killed by security agents during the #EndSARS protest nationwide.

Delta State chairman of PFN, Bishop Kingsley Enakirerhi, led the service with the message titled ” Why God allows protests “.

He told the black wearing congregates that even God recognizes protests as a way of expressing grievances against constituted Authorities.

Recalling the protest led by Moses and Aaron against the oppression of the Israelites by the government of Pharaoh in the book of Exodus, Enakirerhi noted that it was that God directed protest that eventually led to the freedom of Israel .

The Delta State PFN Chairman said it was sad that government security agencies shot and killed hundreds of unarmed youths who were only protesting the oppression by the police and other bad policies of the state.

He declared the support of the church for the youths , saying the blood of the youths that died must never be allowed to be in vain.
