Ondo Cleric Calls for Divine Intervention Amid Insecurity

Samson Oluwamoded, a cleric from the Prayer Centre Church of God in Akure, Ondo State, expressed deep concern over the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, stating that both federal and state governments have failed to adequately protect citizens. During a prayer walk organized by his church in Akure, which lasted three hours, hundreds of church members marched through major streets carrying placards with messages such as "Stop Terror" and "Save Nigeria." Oluwamoded lamented the recent abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo and Borno states, underscoring the severity of the nation's security crisis.

He emphasized that the church can no longer remain silent in the face of increasing violence, including killings and kidnappings. The cleric called for collective prayer and divine intervention, asserting that while the government may struggle, God will not fail the people.

He urged citizens to join in prayer for the nation, highlighting the urgent need for action against the growing insecurity that affects all regions, particularly the southwest.
