The cleric stated this, yesterday, in Ughelli, Delta State, during the Bishop’s charge at the ongoing 8th Synod of the Diocese of Ughelli of Anglican Communion, which has as its theme “We are Christ Fragrance Unto God: A Critical Examination of the Christian Life”. He said anyone responsible for the ongoing attacks on Christian places of workshop would not go unpunished by God.

“The church will not carry arms to fight anyone, but God will fight for His church. Unless they come to the church to confess, by the unction of my consecration, they will  pay for what they have done. We don’t have guns, but we have prayers and we will prevail,” he said.
