The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has canceled his planned crusade in Aba, Abia State, The PUNCH has learned.

It was gathered that Kumuyi canceled the crusade due to security concerns in the South-East geopolitical zone.

The crusade was scheduled to hold in Aba from May 24 to May 29, 2022, but the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra told the 80-year-old cleric not to go ahead with the crusade.

An official of the Global Crusade With Kumuyi confirmed the cancellation of the Aba crusade in a telephone chat with The PUNCH on Saturday and noted that a new venue would be announced for the crusade.

Also, the Chairman of the crusade’s organizing team, Pastor James Akpofure, corroborated the development in a statement on Saturday,

“As there are currently some security challenges at the intended alpha location (Aba, Abia State, Nigeria), the Global Crusade Convener, Pastor (Dr) W.F. Kumuyi commiserate with our people in Abia State and will be praying along for God’s Divine Intervention,” Akpofure said.
