Chaplain of Aso Rock Villa Chapel, and Executive Secretary of Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, yesterday, rose in defence of the federal government over the current security situation in the country, specifically citing the recent Oyo school kidnapping, and declared that the government was not sitting idle.

Adegbite said the kidnappers who murdered teachers and snatch schoolchildren were “agents of evil and enemies of humanity”.

The Christian leader also warned that the country could not overcome insecurity through prayer alone without urgent action, national unity, and political resolve.
