Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church, David Oyedepo has backed the raging #EndSARS protests demanding for an end to police brutality and effective police reform.
The clergy lauded the call for a new Nigeria on Sunday while speaking during the second service of the Church.
Oyedepo wondered if President Muhammadu Buhari and other members of government would have risen to their present level if they were killed as youths.
He said, “Many cannot pass through because of the protest which is legitimate, the protest is legitimate.
“If law enforcement agents can start shooting indiscriminately, senselessly at young individuals — imagine if we were killed as youths, will we be here today?
“If they (government) were killed when they were youths, will they be where they are today? And because no one can tell who is next, the youth have the legitimate right to express their displeasure and express it.
“There is no way the wicked can rule and people will rejoice, when the wicked rules, the people mourn. Absolute disregard for human life is the identity of this regime without any feelings whatsoever.”
He added, “When you see an onslaught like this, it is haunting for the kings — who can tell whether one of those ones slain is ordained to be president of this nation that will bring the nation out of the woods, we can’t tall.
“It is not for lack of what to do, it is finding a way to legitimately express their displeasure with this killer system.”
