Gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey has reacted to the recent unrest in Kwara and Kebbi states, condemning the alleged attacks on Christians and calling for divine judgment on those responsible.
His statement comes after a disturbing attack on a Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku, Kwara State, where suspected bandits attacked worshippers during a live-streamed service.
Bassey emphasised that Nigeria is a great nation and urged citizens to pray for courage and willpower for the government, armed forces, and stakeholders to tackle these evils.
Bassey wrote on X, “I believe with all my heart that this is the time and season for the enemies of this nation to be judged once and for all – terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and all who fund, sponsor, and support them. If we miss this season, we may never get it again.
“Nigeria, in my opinion, is one of the greatest nations on earth. And this is also why there is such contention against the soul of this nation”.
He referenced Deuteronomy 7, highlighting the need to conquer enemies and fulfill Nigeria’s prophetic destiny.
“It’s a new season for NIGERIA, and just like in Deuteronomy 7, there are enemies we have to conquer! And as long as we ignore and pretend about these evils, the destiny of this nation will only remain a wish. NIGERIA, it is time! These killers, kidnappers, bandits, and the architects of these evil systems and structures, as well as their sympathizers, must be judged! We pray for will and courage for the government, the armed forces, the intelligence community, and every stakeholder (including the citizens), like never before, to arise with one voice.
“But like Mordecai said to Esther, if you remain silent, help will come from another source. So it shall be for Nigeria. Every one or group of persons who have determined that Nigeria will not rest, may their end come now! In Jesus’ name.
“Peace shall reign in Nigeria. Nigeria shall prosper and fulfil her prophetic destiny. In Jesus’ name. amen. God bless Nigeria!”
The attack in Kwara is just one of many violent incidents in the region, with 25 students recently abducted from a girls’ boarding school in Kebbi State.
Other Nigerian celebrities, including Funke Akindele and Falz, have also condemned the attacks, calling for urgent action to address the growing insecurity in the country.
