“The primary duty of government is securing lives and properties, the alarming rate of kidnapping and other criminal activities in Nigeria is worrisome.”
Condemning the kidnap of one of its Bishops, Rt. Rev. Oluseye Aderogba, Bishop of Jebba Diocese, the church in a signed statement in Ilorin on Monday, decried the incessant killings, abduction and outright kidnap of innocent Nigerians in the country.
