The Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on Sunday, warned that if relevant authorities failed to address the incessant killings of other Nigerians by herdsmen, the country was on the verge of another civil war.
Bakare, who spoke during his sermon at the Lagos-based church, added that the “country is moving towards another collapse” with the division among different groups and violence in the country.
The cleric, who spoke on the subject ‘All Things are Ready,’ lamented that Nigerians might be forced to retaliate against the rampaging herdsmen if security agencies failed to stop the killings by the cattle rearers.
“We are at the verge of another collapse, if care is not taken. We are pushing ourselves into the (edge of the) precipice of another civil war.
“All these marauders, called herdsmen; if you don’t checkmate them quickly, and the people begin retaliation against what they are doing, we will begin to kill ourselves again. And violence and corruption will rob us of the great future which God has for us,” Bakare stated.
He added that the attempt to over-emphasise the nation’s ethnic differences to undermine Nigerians’ unity would leave the country in a precarious situation.
Bakare believed that Nigeria might have its challenges, he argued that that could not form the basis for any attempt to destroy the fabric of the society.
“I don’t know n gba ti, n gba ti. When I slept in Umuahia many years ago and heard a cockcrow in the morning, it was as if I was in my village.
