Chibok girls will be Released Soon – Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese.

The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, His Lordship Most Rev. Dr. Paulinus Chukwuemeka Ezeokafor has prophesied that the abducted school girls from Chibok, Borno State would soon be released by their abductors, the Boko Haram sect.

Bishop Ezeokafor assured President Goodluck Jonathan that the Catholic Church was in fervent prayers and supplications to God on-behalf of the girls.

The Bishop also urged the President not to despair in these trying times as he would be vindicated in the end and rule the
country irrespective of the antagonism of the Boko Haram insurgents.

The Catholic Prelate made this known to journalists at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Awka on the occasion of the 2014 Life Membership Elevation Ceremony and Fund raising for Re-Roofing of Cana House Event Complex.

The Bishop said fasting and prayers were on-going to ensure that the Chibok school girls re-gained freedom from their abductors.

According to him, they were trying to frustrate Nigerians but God would not allow it, stressing that the actions of Boko Haram was political and that they were intent to frustrate the government of President Goodluck Jonathan.

He, however, stated that the Church was praying fervently for him not to despair but strive on with tenacity of faith.
