Banditry and kidnapping for ransom are currently a major concern in the region. The president of the church, Amos Sikiri, and the bishop of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria have criticised the tragic activities of unbounded in northern Nigeria, leading to many turning to slavery. It's not the first time that we have been suffering this issue of Knapp. They have taken about 50, over 50 of our members, even though some of them escaped, but we have lost one instantly during the issue of Knapp. They were shot dead. We have also lost another one at the process when they were released and they were coming. The other one died. So many have suffered a degree of injuries and it has affected them certainly. Traumatic, we are traumatic, they are traumatic, the families and everybody is traumatic. Nigeria that is supposed to be one of the greatest nations in the world is today struggling. People cannot go to sleep. People cannot do their businesses in peace. Farmers have to desert their farms which perpetuates and increases hunger. So any sensible person in Nigeria, not only Christians, can never be comfortable with this. This is a tragedy and it should be named as a tragedy. It's a big wound on the conscience of the whole nation today that they are living in peace. The then Prime Minister, President of the Balaton Abuse Government and Secret Agencies for the F40 combatting insecurity, urging them to equip themselves with modern technology and equipment to effectively combat enemies. We appeal to federal government to live up to its responsibility and a lot needs to be done. The security men and women, all the security apparatus in this country need to synergize. If we must overcome this monster, I plead with them to put aside competition, let them work together in order to salvage this country from these unnecessary things that we are experiencing in this country. We must acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices of our security agents. They are the first on the line of danger. We must call also on the federal government, the state government, to give them all the necessary support that they need. Well, of course, they may be here and there are mistakes, but we cannot dwell on those mistakes. We must pray for them. We must support them. We must encourage them to face these tragedies squarely. Christian clerics, criticized religious leaders who promote violence for their own selfish interests, urging them to desist and promote peace and unity for all citizens.
