Dr. Sunday Adelaja
A Nigerian Pastor based in Kyiv, Ukraine, Dr. Sunday Adelaja, said he has fled the country’s capital along with his family following information that he is on a list of prominent persons scheduled for elimination in the war by Russia.
The founder of Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for all Nations revealed this in a video on his Facebook page on Saturday.
Adelaja said: “This is the first time I and my family have been able to have a place to put our heads in the last 48 hours.
“We’ve been travelling, sometimes we walk, sometimes we run, sometimes we are in a car, sometimes we are in a long queue of people who want to escape from Ukraine.

“I wanted to stay back and send my wife to get out of the country but I got an information two days ago that in a few days, the Russians will enter Kyiv.
“From the American intelligence, we got to know that they have a list of people for elimination.
“These are not ordinary but influential people who have public opinion and that I am on the list.
“I know that I am on the list because I was already a persona non grata in Russia since 2005.
“I have been a personal enemy of Vladimir Putin for close to 20 years now.
“He banned me from going to Russia, so I know I would be on the list.”
Adelaja also revealed that he had some Nigerians in his home, including 14 students, where he has an underground bunker.
He said himself and his wife, Bose, have arrived in a safe place, adding that he could not provide more details immediately.
