A Nigerian pastor in Ukraine, Sunday Adelaja, has cried out over alleged threats to his life after the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops.
While raising the alarm, Pastor Adelaja posted on his Facebook page that he had been in Ukraine for over 20 years and that he is on the hit list of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He added that he’s one of the influential people on Putin’s list to be eliminated.
He also wrote that Putin wants to eliminate him and other influential people if Russian forces capture Kyiv, the city where he resides.
He made it known that he and his family had gone into hiding and ran away to a safe place.
He wrote: “From American intelligence, we got to know that they (Russia) have a list for elimination; this is not ordinary people but those who are influential. And I’m on that list.
“I knew I was on the list because I was declared a persona non-grata in Russia since 2005. I have been a personal enemy of Putin for over 20 years now, and he banned me from going to Russia, so I know I will be on that list.”
