The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Kukah has described Nigeria as a killing field owing to the activities of bandits, Boko Haram insurgents and other criminal elements that have plunged the entire nation into hardship.

Bishop Kukah in his Easter message said after making a mockery of the security situation in 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari is now ‘helpless’ over it.

The Bishop recalled that President Buhari had in 2015 described Boko Haram insurgents as a typical case of small fires causing large fires.

He stressed that the fire is now consuming under his watch.

He blamed the ruling class over the deteriorating security in the country, noting that the criminal elements were multiplying because governments “pay more attention to rehabilitating bandits and kidnappers than the victims”.

According to him, “Taunted by Boko Haram, ravaged by bandits, kidnappers, armed robbers, and other merchants of death across the nation, there is collective fear as to whether Nigeria’s glory is about to depart! Retired military and intelligence officers lament over what has become of their glorious profession as they watch the humiliation of our military personnel.

“Traumatised citizens are tortured daily by bandits. The nation has since become a massive killing field, as both government and the governed look on helplessly.

“A thick and suffocating cloud of desperation, despondency, desolation, gloom, and misery hangs in the hot air. We have no message and have no idea how long this will last. Our people seek solace and protection, but frustration and darkness threaten to drown them. Is their government on AWOL?”

On May 29, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari, at his swearing-in as President of Nigeria, said: Boko Haram is a typical case of small fires causing large fires,” Kukah said.

“Now, before his watch, the fires are consuming the nation, and in many instances, they indeed start small.

“In all, Nigeria’s troubles are growing by the day, but our hands must remain stretched out in supplication.”

Citing the killings and abduction of residents in different parts of the country, particularly the North, Kukah noted that “politicians will use religion to mobilise for elections, but they cannot use it to govern”.

According to him, the prevailing security situations has given Nigerians the impression that those elected into offices to protect the lives and properties of the citizens have failed.

Recall that the Bishop, in his 2020 Christmas message, accused President Buhari’s administration of practising nepotism.

The assertion triggered many reactions from concerned Nigerians as some, including the presidency, slammed the Bishop over the comment while others maintained that Kukah’s view was the nation’s reality.

Killings? Understatement your Lord Bishop. I have not seen such killings in the history of human existence. May Almighty God continue to protect you your Lordship. You are indeed a sincere God's servant. What a great country rule by unfortunate people!

May God continue to protect His holiness bishop of Sokoto diocese.

Muslims leaders silent in the face of our present difficulties due to sentiment are just teaching us how beautiful their religion is.

Nigeria is presently the largest ongoing CRIME SCENE ever recorded in human history.

Yoruba muslims won't like this statement


they're on their way here to defend their slave master's

Bishop Kukah keeps on saying the truth, yet the ruling class always try to threaten and undermine him.

God bless you and keep you Sir. We need more people like you to speak truth to those in power without mincing words

Las las...na ecomog someday.

It's only God's kingdom we need.

No other country is as badly mismanaged as this country.. Buhari just wasted 8 solid years of our lives talking about Ruga and Niger republic.. No administrative abilities whatsoever. Just pushing hard for sectional goals..
It's also very "nice" , the way the military has stayed away from all the Commotions going on. That's the way to go. We just hope that the military will not step in towards the tail end of this obnoxious administration to sustain northern domination of Nigerias politics, nor intervene next time when a Southerner is in charge.
IF the military can keep quiet while Buhari and his fulani goons violate the sanctity of the nations democracy so ruthlessly, the same military should "stay in their lane" when a southern president decides to game the system for regional benefits..

Nigeria is an abbatoir but that's not even the problem,the problem is that there is no solution and end in sight except expressing shock and issuing threats

Its disheartening sir, very disheartening

The bold Bishop always on point, God continue to bless you. If nothing is done in Buhari style of leadership, this country may not withstand insecurity till 2023. May God help Nigeria.

Nigeria is home of terror

Buhari is working. He has gone to London to rest while Nigeria burns. His handlers say he will work from there as he is internet savvy. Nigeria don suffer chai!
