The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has prophesied the return of the remaining abducted Chibok schoolgirls this year.

The General Overseer stated this during the church’s New Year Eve service on Thursday morning, Bakare told his congregation that Nigeria would enjoy extraordinary grace from God this year, which would see the return of the missing girls.

He said, “The Chibok girls will be returned this year; some people will say ‘they are just using religion to deceive themselves. How will the girls be rescued?’ You will see. I didn’t say it, it is what God said and I believe it.”

Bakare called on all Nigerians to be united in purpose and shun all act ethnic discrimination.

 “Whether you are from the East or from the West or from the North or the South, you will experience joy in 2015. Other nations will say ‘how did they do it.’ It will be indescribable joy. The nations of the earth will testify. I bring good tidings of joy to every part of the nation but I am not going to deceive you, we are going to go through some shakings.

“Let us not desecrate ourselves, saying this one is Ngbati-ngbati or that one is Aboki and things like that. These are terrible things. Some people will say ‘if you see a snake on one side and a Fulani man on another, first kill the Fulani. There is also a terrible joke some people tell about the Igbos.”
