The Concerned Christian Youth Forum is pleased to share the news that the issue surrounding the arrest of Apostle Festus Alilu has been resolved. And Apostle Festus Alilu tenders His unreserves Public apology to Pastor Korede Komaiya and the Master’s International Church Warri Delta State.
In a statement on Monday, the convener of the forum, James Paul Adama, confirmed the development, describing it as a positive step towards reconciliation.
Apology and Resolution
Apostle Alilu, in his letter of apology, expressed regret over a viral video he had posted on Facebook on 8 March 2025, in which he criticised Pastor Korede Komaiya’s.
“I write to express my sincere and unreserved apologies for a viral video i posted on my Facebook page on the 8th day of March 2025 where i criticized your style of preaching.
I regret the offensive contents of the video and the negative effect on your reputation, congratulation and the entire body of Christ”.
“I have removed the video from the Facebook page and i have also posted an apology video on the same platform”.
“I humbly request for your forgiveness and understanding so we can put it behind us and focus on our values of commitments in spreading the Gospel”.
“Once again, please accept my apologies.
Thank you and God bless you in Jesus name”.
The Concerned Christian Youth Forum applaud this reconciliation and urge others to follow suit.
We believe that the Christian faith and its Leaders should be respected and protected against defamation and cyberbullying.
Do NOT defame or tarnish the reputation of anyone while criticizing their actions. Remember, you are only sharing your perception or opinion and this must be done within the confines of the law.
Criminal offence isn’t just against the victim but against the entire State. So do not come up with lame excuses that the victim is a Christian or Pastor and ought to have forgiven.
Let this apology serve as a reminder that differences of opinion do not justify hateful speech or malicious behavior.
The matter has been withdrawn, and we are grateful to all those involved for finding a peaceful solution.
