October 15, 2020.
- The Leader and General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E. A Adeboye, has told protesters to “comport themselves orderly” as they “express their grievances within the confines of what God and the law of the land allows”.
Pastor E. A Adeboye, was reacting to the protests to scrap the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), which has been going on for over a week.
His reaction was contained in a statement on Wednesday night, signed by Pastor Johnson F Odesola, the Assistant General Overseer (Administration and Personnel).
Adeboye further stressed that RCCG supports Nigerians protesting against police brutality and called for a restructuring of the Police Force.
In his words; “the church welcomes the disbandment of the SARS, and notes the establishment of a new outfit called The Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT), but advises that it should not become a case of old wine in a new bottle.”
“ I called on the federal government to address unemployment, the decay in Nigeria’s education system and the general harsh economic situation in the country”.
