The insecurity is a great thing of concern to every Nigerian now. Left, right, centre, backward and forward, you encounter situations of insecurity.

It is multi-dimensional. So we are very concerned and we are people of the grassroots. In grassroots, people live in villages, in communities, in farms, and they realize they cannot be free on their farms again.

We realize that travellers are not sure of arriving their destinations well because there could be criminal attacks on the road, there could be kidnappers.

So it’s quite disturbing even at home where you think you are comfortable with your family, somebody can just come at a very odd hour or in the day time and get you out and start asking for ransom if you are lucky.

If you are not lucky, they kill you. When you take the issue of security, Boko Haram in the North-East, they are there and you hear reports of attacks in a manner that is quite surprising because sometimes we are told they can be quite destructive even on soldiers.

You must have heard about the constant kidnappings and killings going on in different parts of the country. It is a virus that is spreading, and I don’t think that we have gotten the right antidote or therapy to decrease the virus which is quite disturbing.

Even as a religious leader, we are conscious that our people are expected, sometimes, to gather for religious functions, sometimes in the day time, sometimes in the night time, and if there is no guaranteed security, they are always very anxious, fearful and concerned that anything could happen.

This is going to also take away from the quality of worship and religious services: when people are gathered and they are not sure whether they will get out of the church or mosque and return home in safety.

The scenario is quite disturbing!
