Residents troop in awe to Catholic Church to catch glimpse of Christ’s apparition
Thousands of Catholic parishioners and worshipers of other religious faith within and outside Makurdi, the Benue State capital have continued to troop into St. Augustine Catholic Parish, Nenger, located behind Government Model College, Makurdi, to catch a glimpse of the Christ crucifix that got enveloped with Jesus Christ apparition.
The Guardian correspondent, who was at the church, observed that the shinny image in the likeness of Jesus depicting the time he rose from the dead after crucifixion, had on his head a crown, while the entire body was covered in a sparkling white robe.
It was observed that most of the Christians and non-Christians who trooped to the altar, where the crucifix was mounted in the church, scampered to lay their hands on it with chanting prayers like “Jesus save me”, “Jesus, the son of God, have mercy on us.”
One of the parishioners, Mr. Emmanuel Kaashima, who spoke to The Guardian about his experience, said he was shocked when he saw the Christ apparition, as it was the first time such would happen in the church since it was established.
On his reaction and interpretation of the incident, Reverend Father in charge of the parish, Celestine Tyowua, declined comment, adding that he would speak at the appropriate time.

Let me simply tell these people that even in their homes and on the street, Jesus is ready to save and deliver. Jesus is not in the crucifix there. They don’t have to go and see any form of apparition before they can believe in Him. He is my Saviour and Redeemer and in my bed room in the darkest of the night He is ever present. We are in the last days. It is in the same Benue State they said they saw the appearance of Mary long time ago and today herds men are killing people there like no man’s business. May the good Lord open their eyes.
Given your analogy.. Jesus lived in Isreal and they have been fighting with Palestine for centuries now.
Did anyone capture this phenomenon for keep sakes and for posterity. I won’t be surprised if no one did.
Perhaps they are deluded by some natural phenomenon?
