Former Nigeria’s aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has clashed with the Church of Satan on social media.

Fani-Kayode wrote a tweet praying against the organization and referring to them as the seeds of Belial.

Sharing a photo of their temple, he wrote saying “‘Angel’, the ritual guild leader for the Satanic Temple of Washington state, leads the procession up the Capitol steps as part of their satanic ritual.

“Behold the seed of Belial, the offspring of the serpent and the children of Beelzebub.

“May the Lord rebuke thee satan. May the Lord crush your citadels, pull down your temples, burn your alters, and scatter your disciples.”

Responding to Fani-Kayode, the church told him to learn to read.

wrote: “Please learn to read.

“The Satanic Temple is a political activist group that exists to troll politicians and use ‘Satan’ to get headlines, press attention, and fool people.

“They have nothing to do with us or the established religion of Satanism. Satanists are atheists, we don’t believe in a god or a devil.”
