#EndSARS: Pastor Adeboye cautions protesters
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E. A Adeboye, in a statement published on Wednesday night 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”.
Prophet Adeboye was reacting to the #EndSARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), protest which has been going on for over a week in Nigeria.
His reaction was contained in a statement on Wednesday night, signed by Pastor Johnson F Odesola, the Assistant General Overseer (Administration and Personnel).
Adeboye said RCCG supports Nigerians protesting against police brutality and called for a restructuring of the Police Force.
The statement added that “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.”
