The criminal no confess him sins but go dey urge gullible followers to confess their sins and be forgiven.
He has decided to rot in jail, cos I see no reason why he shouldn't confess to an Earthly Judge

Will the governor sign the execution? Many of these guys are still on prison after sentencing to death. Governors don't usually append their signature.

Yet not one Fulani terrorist has been caught and put on trial to pay for their crimes

Justice served. Oyedepo and the church should be sued for the court to compare them to pay for damages.

What sort of whataboutism is this?!

Are you unhappy that a criminal was convicted because he's a pastor?

Do you know how many bandits have been neutralised by the army and how many innocent northerners have paid the ultimate price innocently?

I am unhappy that some criminals are never caught. Selective justice is injustice too

There is no selective justice here at all. Stop insinuating what isn't.

You're unhappy that someone from a demographic that you love is hitting the headline for the wrong reasons. That's a symptom of bigotry.

You probably would have freed the criminal if you had the means. People like you are why the country is stagnant.

Stop calling him a pastor call him a killer, a murderer. Who dey gives these people that title pastor seff, smh. Any hungry person that can quote bible is automatically a pastor, hunger is the major motivation of them being a pastor.

Pastor: One of the evil militating against the progress in Nigeria with their partners in crime, polithiefcians, corrupt judges, top corrupt civil servants, with their gullible members and followers, the indirect enabler of these shenanigans and sheeples who can never see any moral wrong among these corrupt lost souls. Although we have some good pastors who are just few in numbers but they’re unpopular.

Compare them with what?
Did he do what he did on the instruction of Pastor Oyedepo or the church?

I would. If terrorists can be termed as repentant then Kirikiri should be emptied by now. Selective justice is the worst form of injustice

The governor is also a pastor i really doubt he will sign the death penalty of a fellow pastor.

In other words, they should not have caught this man or better still they should have freed him, since no fulani had been sent to trial. What an excuse for a human being.

Selective justice is the worst form of injustice. By now nobody should still be in prison if terrorists are being termed repentant and given money and gifts

I wonder what messages he has been passing across to his congregation who he have been pastoring.

It is well...in as much as murder is a grievous crime. I hope the case of misinterpretation, mistaken identity and power of who knows who does not happen to you.
