The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said that the terrorism and banditry in the northern part of the country is now at his doorstep.
Pastor Adeboye however lamented that the people responsible for insecurity are moving freely.
The cleric spoke at the US-Nigeria Faith Heroes Award gala, organized by the Save Nigeria Group in Washington.
Adeboye said, “It’s so bad, far worse, that people are asking, ‘Where is your God?’ That’s how bad things are. The terrorism, kidnappings and other bad things that used to happen in the north are now happening right near my home.
“They have traveled all the way to the southern part. And, of course, the sponsors are all well-known, and they are still moving around without any restrictions.”
Adeboye said he spoke with President Bola Tinubu and First Lady, Oluremi, who is also a pastor in the RCCG, about the country’s security problems.
He said he told the Nigerian leader to give orders to military officers in the armed forces and set a 90-day deadline.
“Wipe out this rubbish or resign. Then take care of the supporters and the sponsors,” he said.
The RCCG leader said politicians and businessmen are behind the terrorists and bandits.
He stressed that the government must go after the sponsors.
“Some of them are businessmen. Some of them are politicians. Go after them. If you don’t take action against those providing weapons and bullets, and since they often ride motorcycles when they move around, the problem will keep happening if we don’t target the people funding it,” Adeboye added.
