The Redeemed Christian Church of God’s General Overseer, Enoch Adeboye, has called on the Nigerian government to set a 90-day deadline for security heads to eliminate terrorism or step down. In a video shared on his X account Tuesday, the cleric voiced his worries about the nation’s ongoing security crises and the persistent danger from militant groups.
Adeboye emphasized that those responsible for national security must deliver clear outcomes in combating terrorism. He proposed that the government should quietly instruct security chiefs to eradicate terrorists within three months or face resignation. The pastor also urged authorities to target individuals and networks funding and aiding terrorist operations.
According to him, security efforts should go beyond fighting armed militants to include prosecuting sponsors and facilitators, irrespective of their power or connections. He stated that service chiefs must be directed to eliminate both terrorists and their backers, no matter how influential. This call comes as public anxiety grows over insecurity, including recent abductions of students and teachers in Oyo.
