The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Recently, the police rescued at least seventy-seven people from inside an evangelical church in the Nigerian state of Ondo. Pastor David Anifowoshe promised the churchgoers that the rapture would occur soon and they would ascend to heaven. He initially promised that the second coming of Jesus would occur in April 2022 but soon changed the arrival date to September 2022. The authorities suspected this was a mass kidnapping or child trafficking incident. The police suspected the church after a report was filed by a mother whose children had disappeared. Many captives resisted when the police arrived at the church to rescue them. They refused to leave the premises and even cursed the concerned parents that came to take their children back home. Of the people freed by the police, 54 were adults, and 23 were children; some were under ten. The president of a local youth club, Famakinwa Lucaskakaki, said that during interrogation, the church members had willingly "walked into the basement themselves."
