Cleric urges govt to tighten security

By Oyebola Owolabi

The Archbishop of the African Church Lagos Province, Rev Julius Oludotun, has called on the Federal and State governments to address the security challenges.

Oludotun addressed reporters at the African Church Saviour’s Cathedral, Agege, as part of activities marking the third biennial congress and fifth year Founders’ Day of the province.

The cleric, who lamented the worsening trend of abductions and other crimes, said:

“The government should tighten the security apparatus and we the citizens should obey simple instructions.  “We appeal to the federal and state governments to accord security the importance it deserves because all of us know we are not safe. On the states’ Amotekun initiative, some states have already defeated the bandits, so the Federal Government should do more on security,” he said.

Oludotun urged the people to move closer to God to enjoy peace.

“We, as christians, need to turn back to God. We are equally guilty of some of the sins committed but our God is able to deliver us from every challenge and unpalatable situation we may be going through now. We know all things are possible with God. Nigeria needs prayer at a crucial time like this, and by the grace of God, peace will come back to Nigeria,” he added.
