In other news… A Nigerian lady has voiced her distress after viewing footage of the recent violent attack at a church in Kwara State, highlighting her reaction to the pastor’s behavior during the crisis.

Known on X as @balogun_onome, she shared that her heart “truly sank” while watching the pastor’s response during the incident.

She noted that the pastor appeared to be the first to flee, leaving members of the congregation behind in a perilous situation.

The lady expressed how heartbreaking it was to witness vulnerable worshippers, including an elderly lady, struggling to find safety while the pastor prioritized his own escape.

She wrote:

“When I watched this video below, my heart truly sank. I found myself focusing on the pastor, and it hurt to see that he was the first person to run. In that moment of danger, he was searching for a safe place for himself without showing any concern for the very church members he leads.

The same pastor who asks us to pray for protection was desperately trying to secure his own safety. That alone broke me.

It was painful to watch that elderly woman struggling to hide while the pastor had already left everyone behind in fear. Moments like this remind you that when things go wrong, sometimes you are truly on your own.

God has given us wisdom, strength, and the ability to act, yet some still expect Him to intervene physically while they do nothing. Even in the Bible, battles were fought by people with God’s guidance not with empty words. Blood met blood, action met action.”
