Pastor says women are evil and dangerous
Rwanda’s media watchdog says the US-owned Christian radio station should be closed for airing these “disgraceful” comments against women.
The message by a local pastor named Nicolas Niyibikora was aired on January 29, 2018, by the Amazing Grace FM radio station in Rwanda.
During his sermon, the controversial Seventh Day Adventist preacher said, "women are out of God's favour, there is nothing good you can find in women.
"If you've read the Bible, who brought the sin into the world? It was not a man."
Yahoo reports that this broadcast infuriated the National Women’s Association and the Women’s Journalist Association.

Both organizations issued their complaints to the Rwanda Media Commission, the body in charge of journalist ethics.
On Monday, February 12th, commission chief Edmund Kagire also released a statement calling for the American Christian radio station to be closed for three months.
He also demanded that the station and preacher “issue a public apology for the damage they have caused.”
American evangelist Gregg Schoof, the owner of the radio station is yet to react to the controversy.
