Kidnappers Shoot Bishop, Kill Driver by ASANIGBO(m): 5:43am On Jan 09, 2011
Dare-devil kidnappers Friday night shot the General Overseer of Redeemed Pillar of Fire Praying Mission Worldwide, Bishop Adol Paul Obinwogu, and killed a bus driver at Amichi, Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The kidnappers, numbering about four, were said to have trailed the bishop, who was traveling from Lagos to attend a three-day crusade at Eziama.

The robbers were said to have mistaken the Bishop who was traveling in his Toyota SUV for a top government official or a business magnate. Sources close to the scene of the incident said when the kidnappers got to Eke Market, Amichi about 7pm, they fired several shots at the Bishop’s vehicle, bursting all the tires and shattering the windscreens, forcing the driver to stop.

Our source stated that when the kidnappers discovered that they had wrongly attacked the Bishop, they apologized to him and pleaded with him to forgive them. Sunday Sun gathered that the cleric received severe bullet wounds on the chest and his left leg, while the policeman traveling with him was shot in both legs.
A bus driver who was close to the scene of the incident when the shooting started was said to have been shot in the head. He died on the spot.

Obinwogu was then taken to Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, from where he was transferred to an undisclosed hospital. Our reporter gathered that arrangement was being made to fly the wounded cleric overseas for further medical treatment. When Sunday Sun sought confirmation at the Amichi Police Station, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) was not available.

However, the Police Public Relations Officer for Anambra State, ASP Emeka Chukwuemeka, said he had received information about the incident but was yet to get a detailed official report. As at 4.30pm yesterday when our reporter returned to the scene of the accident, the Bishop’s bullet-riddled SUV was still there.

Ymodulus:

Is there any sense in what u ve just posted especially the bolded part?

Ok because there was an attack it means the christian 'god' doesnt exist? is it written in the bible that all believers will live a life free of problem or troubles? Abraham in the bible had delay in fathering a child does it still mean his wasnt existing? isaac and jacob had similar fate. David was attacked in the bible < 1 Samuel 30 >>

1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.

3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

5 And[b] David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.[/b]

6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but[b] David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.[/b]



Why didn't 'god' prevented this attack? he wasn't existing?
Please don't just jump into conclusion  next time ok?

Its not a good news to hear but we pray that Bishop heals fast in Jesus Name. Ymodulus! U seem to show up in matters beyond u ABI? No bi your fault, always jumping into funny conclusions about Christians. Anyway, I pray that u will change and know that God exists. Take it from me, u will SERVE GOD ALMIGHTY with your life accepting the good news of the gospel.
We pray for peace in our country.
