The Minister in charge of Salvation Baptist Church, Unguwan Yelwa in Television area of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Rev Solomon Tafida, has expressed concern over the level of insecurity in the country and Kaduna in particular and has called on the federal and state governments and security agencies to flush out bandits hiding in forests.

Rev Tafida who spoke with journalists in Kaduna, said any right-thinking person in Nigeria must be worried about the security situation.

He said, “We are all affected, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a Christian or a Muslim. We are all in the boat and it may capsize. I am burdened by what is happening, and most of our challenges are not far away from us, we are in a siege and our enemies are at our backyards.

“Nigerian youths must wake up and do something, the people at the grassroots are facing most of the challenges, we can’t pretend that we don’t know that the enemy has taken over the forests, and government must wake up to its responsibilities.”

Rev Tafida also said members of his congregation had been affected by the insecurity as some had been killed while others were abducted and forced to pay huge sums of money as ransom.

He further said, “This has been going on in churches in the villages and the cities and no one seems to be talking. We cannot keep quiet.”
