The popular TikTok video shows the man with his companions. They are outside while other congregants stay inside.
According to @ojugo_1, his preference for staying outside is a security measure. He aims to prevent potential bandit attacks within the church building.
He indicated the church’s fence and gate. These offered potential escape routes during an incident.
His video caption directly states his intention. It translates to: “We are at a church vigil. I will stay outside. I will be outside.”
This video surfaced shortly after a recent church attack in Kwara.
The Kwara incident occurred on November 18, 2025. Gunmen attacked the Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku. This town is located in Ekiti LGA, Kwara State.
Attackers opened fire during the evening service. Three worshippers died. Several others sustained injuries.

A church official confirmed 38 abductions. A ransom of 100 million naira per victim was requested.
Witnesses described the assailants as bandits. They emerged from the surrounding bush. They fired randomly. Police and local vigilantes arrived, causing them to flee.
