Lagos Pastor To Go On Mission To Rescue Chibok Girls

Almost 4 months after the abduction of more than 200 school girls from Chibok, Borno State, a cleric vows to go for the missing children to Boko Haram hideout.

Pastor Sunday Adebayo Joseph, Christ Apostolic Church, told journalists that there was no other way to rescue the girls but with divine intervention, Leadership reports.

According to the clergyman, God is angry with Boko Haram for the mean act and with Nigerians for allowing the abuse and He directed the pastor to locate the hideout and rescue the girls.

"The Chibok girls that had been captured more than three months ago can be released. The message of God is that no amount of weapons and their usage that can bring them back alive. Thus, the God of Christ Apostolic Church has promised to use me to rescue the girls, one single day, no harm will befall them. They will be rescued alive by the power of God. With God all things are possible. Before I go on the mission, I will deliver God’s message to our president Dr Goodluck Jonathan."

With the help of God Joseph said he was not afraid of the risks of his move.

The girls were abducted on April 14 by Boko Haram sect. The insurgents showed the children in the videos and said they had been converted to Islam. On several occasions the Nigerian military and authorities insisted they had located the victims' whereabouts, but vowed not to use force for the safety reasons.

Many Nigerian clerics and religious bodies have prayed for divine intervention and have directly been turning to the insurgents demanding for girls' release. Among them is the famous Lagos prophet T.B. Joshua, who in May held a special prayer session for the release of Nigeria's daughters.
