RCCG members protest Deborah Samuel’s death with mouths sealed with cello-tape in Abuja
A mild drama ensued in Abuja as the members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, staged a protest over the gruesome murder of Deborah Samuel, a 200-level student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, following allegations of blasphemy against her.
The demonstration against religious killings in the country took place after the Sunday service at the Central Parish, Wuse, Abuja and was led by the regional pastor of the parish who refused to give his name to journalists.
The protest, which was peaceful, had the mouths of the RCCG church members sealed with cello-tape to theatrically drive home the point.
The protesters bore placards with written inscriptions such as ‘Stop the killing’, ‘God is watching’, ‘No killings in the name of religion’, ‘Don’t defend the indefensible‘ and ‘let’s live together in peace’.
