A Nigerian clergyman based in Ukraine, Sunday Adelaja, has taken to Facebook to give a live update on Russia’s attack against Ukraine.

Adelaja, who presides over a large church in Ukraine, disclosed that he could hear bombs and loud sounds of shells from his home in Kiev. He also said telephone lines has been cut off but they still have access to the internet.

He has called on Nigerians to pray for peace amongst the nations because they are under full-scale attack.

This comes after Russia military fully invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea – an attack said to be the biggest by one country in Europe against another since World War II.

“Hello Dear Friends,

While we still have access to internet here in Ukraine, since no more telephone communication is possible within Ukraine, I will like to use this opportunity to send out this message to our friends and families all over the world.

Yes, it is true. We are under attacks in Ukraine. We couldn’t believe it for a long time that Russian Federation would attack Ukraine, but alas it has happened. Personally I thought this is not possible but I’m right now in the midst of it. Americans were right…

From my house here Kiev I could hear bombs and loud sounds of shelling. We are in the midst of a total war with Russia.

We stand in faith, we stand in God, we put our trust in his promises, while we hope for the best.

We ask the world to pray for Ukraine

Pray for peace

Pray for Russia

Pray for world leaders

Especially for the president of Russia, Ukraine, USA

Meanwhile, we are staying safe at home, praying and believing God for the best.

Thank you so much everyone for your prayers and support

God bless you richly

For The Love Of God, Church And Nation

Dr. Sunday Adelaja”
