Bishop Adegbite, the Death of Teacher Oyedokun and the Call to Support Nigeria’s Security Forces, Govt

When gunmen stormed a school in Oyo State last month, they did not just abduct children. They silenced a classroom forever. Mathematics teacher Michael Oyedokun was killed in the attack, his lesson plan left unfinished on his desk and his students plunged into a nightmare Nigeria has come to know too well. Recently, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission and Chaplain of Aso Rock Villa Chapel, who condemned Oyedokun’s killing while insisting that no genuine religion supports the shedding of innocent blood or the torment of helpless people, noted that his death must not be a statistic. This was just as he called for support for the efforts of government and security agencies through prayers, cooperation, and the provision of credible information. Writes Mary Nnah
