The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, Bishop Prof. Stephen Adegbite, has announced the lifting of the ban on Christian pilgrimage to Israel.
The ban was suspended by the commission in February this year following the commencement of the US-Israel-Iran conflict.
Bishop Adegbite made the declaration at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem yesterday, according to a statement by the commission’s Director, Media and Public Relations, Celestine Toruka.
“I promised everyone that I will be here to see what is happening in the Holy Land. I have been here in the last three days. The Holy Land is peaceful. Jerusalem is at peace and will continue to be at peace.
“The ban on Christian Pilgrimage from Nigeria to Israel is hereby lifted from today”, the Executive Secretary said.
