The Founder and Planter of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Adamimogo Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide, Prophet Sam Olu-Alo, has called for greater unity among stakeholders as a crucial step towards addressing the growing insecurity in Nigeria’s South-West region.
The renowned cleric said collective action, stronger security architecture, constitutional reforms, and improved community participation are necessary to curb the rising cases of kidnapping and other criminal activities across the region.
Speaking during an interview on national issues, Prophet Olu-Alo attributed the worsening security situation partly to political insincerity and the activities of individuals allegedly sponsoring criminal elements.
According to him, intensified military operations against terrorists in northern Nigeria have forced many criminal groups to seek alternative locations, leading to increased security concerns in other parts of the country, including the South-West.
“The weakest point for security in Nigeria today is the South-West. Unlike the North, where open terrain makes it easier for security agencies to track terrorists, the South is covered by thick forests that provide hiding places for criminal elements. However, this challenge can be overcome if we work collectively,” he said.
