The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, during a live programme on DOVE TV says he and his prayer warriors will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of rape are accorded stiffer penalty, NAN is reporting.

Adeboye said that the issue of rape had become rampant in the society. He described rape as bad and unbiblical that it could leave a permanent scar on the victim for the rest of her life. According to him, there is no pain that can be compared to the pain of the parents whose daughter had been raped.

“Myself and prayer warriors will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of this evil are brought to justice, not only in Nigeria but all over the world. Everyone who has ever committed rape, particularly in Nigeria and the world, the all-knowing God will fish them.

“As much as I hate death sentence, I think every form of punishment that will be given to a rapist cannot be considered too severe. Anyone, whoever thinks of raping someone again, the almighty God will stop them even before they do so and if they insist God will take them away. I am calling on every Christian all over the world to please join me in this prayer,” he said.
