According to Uganwa, the ceremony, which will be in line with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) protocols, will begin by 10a.m. at the Cathedral of St. Paul, Issele-Uku.

He said the honour was given to the five in recognition of their selfless contributions to the local church and humanity.

Uganwa stated that the Pope, in his letter conferring the honour, urged them to see it as a call to contribute more in the development of the Nigerian society.
THOUSAND of Christians from the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Delta State, yesterday held a Black Sunday Service to mourn the young Nigerians killed by security operatives during the #EndSARS protests across the country.

Delta State PFN Chairman, Bishop Kingsley Enakirerhi, in a message entitled ‘Why God Allows Protests’ told the Christians in black attires that even God recognised protests as a way of expressing grievances against constituted authorities.

Recalling the protest led by Moses and Aaron against the oppression of the Israelites by the government of Pharaoh in the book of Exodus, Enakirerhi noted that God directed the protest that eventually led to the freedom of Israel.
