Nigeria is becoming a jungle, Bishop Abioye express over rise in insecurity

Bishop David Abioye, the Overseer of Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, has expressed serious worries about Nigeria’s increasing insecurity, stating that the country is “rapidly descending into a jungle.”

During a Special Easter Celebration Service in Abuja, he urged the Federal Government under Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take swift and effective measures to tackle the rising violence nationwide.

Abioye highlighted the ongoing violence in northern states such as Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue, and Taraba, labeling the situation as a dangerous trend that is becoming alarmingly accepted.

He voiced particular concern about recent attacks in Plateau and Nasarawa, which have displaced many residents and forced families to seek refuge elsewhere.

“To have approximately 30 people, including a pregnant woman, killed in such a manner indicates that human life is losing its value,” Abioye remarked. “Our government must take responsibility; the citizens have nowhere else to turn.”

The former Vice President of Living Faith Church Worldwide also shared his distress over heartbreaking videos depicting vulnerable individuals, like children and the elderly, fleeing violence on motorcycles.

Abioye warned that this crisis could potentially impact everyone, including those in positions of power, emphasizing that leadership must entail visible accountability. “Leadership is not just a title; it is a responsibility. Those in authority need to take action now,”  he asserted.
