CALABAR — The Chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, in Cross River State, Apostle Trinity Ogar, has urged residents to stop attributing recent flood, landslide and fire incidents in the state to spiritual causes.
Ogar, who is also the Acting Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the state, said the disasters should instead be viewed within the context of natural and environmental factors and existing early warning systems.
He spoke while responding to questions from journalists on the series of disasters recorded across the state in recent weeks.
His comments followed speculation among some residents linking the incidents to the alleged displeasure of an Efik marine deity, “Anansa,” said to be associated with traditional worshippers in the area.
