Chibok, Dapchi representatives visit Synagogue to pray for release of Leah Sharibu, others

Representatives of Chibok community in Borno state and Dapchi community in Yobe state on Sunday sought spiritual help at The Synagogue, the Church of All Nations, at Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos to pray for the release of Leah Sharibu and other students kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists.

The representatives who carried several placards told the General Overseer, Prophet Temitope Joshua, that they were at The Synagogue because they had exhausted all human efforts to get the abducted students released.

Spokesman for the representatives told Prophet Joshua that the father of Leah Sharibu could not come with them because he had been bedridden by stroke, as a result of the kidnap of her daughter.

He said they had been watching his ministry through Emmanuel Television (the church’s cable TV) and all the help he had rendered to the sick and the less privileged, hence their joint visit to plead for intercessory prayers for the release of the students.

The spokesman said they had no doubt that with the approval of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God could trigger the release of the remaining students kidnapped in 2014 and 2018.

Responding, Prophet Joshua told them that there was nothing impossible in the sight of the Creator of Heaven and Earth and urged the congregation and viewers of Emmanuel Television worldwide to pray and fast on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, this week, for the release of the remaining students.

He said that “there is nothing God cannot do” and urged all to see the prayer and fasting on the mentioned days as an assignment.

Some of the placards carried by the delegation read: “Please intercede on our behalf for the release of Leah Sharibu”; “The remaining 112 students kidnapped in Chibok are yet to be released, please help,” among others.
