Another user, Uchechukwu Praise who could not hide her emotions said: “That what happened, That you support those that took away someone created in the image of God?have God ever killed you for your sins before?
“If God begins to punish us this way each time we sin, are we going to survive at all? I tell you everyone will be dead, but man can never be God, he is all merciful, some of you there, condemning him has done worse than he did, why is wickedness at the back of our mind, human being, you have just sent a living soul to hell, his blood will be on your heads, I drop my pen here, I’m speechless.”
