General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called for a more strategic approach to tackling insecurity, urging authorities to focus not only on armed groups carrying out attacks but also on those who finance and sponsor their activities.
Speaking on the issue of insecurity, Pastor Adeboye emphasized that lasting peace cannot be achieved by targeting only those directly involved in violent acts. According to him, greater attention should be given to identifying and bringing to justice the individuals and networks that provide funding, resources, and support for criminal operations.
His remarks have sparked widespread discussion, with many Nigerians agreeing that addressing the financial and logistical backing of criminal groups is essential to achieving long-term security. Others have described the statement as a call for stronger intelligence gathering, effective law enforcement, and greater accountability.
The comments come amid ongoing national conversations about insecurity and the need for comprehensive strategies to combat terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other violent crimes across the country.
As reactions continue to emerge, many have welcomed Pastor Adeboye’s contribution to the discussion, expressing hope that greater efforts will be made to dismantle the networks that enable criminal activities and threaten the safety of communities.
