Prophet Isa El-Buba Calls for Urgent Action Against Insecurity in Nigeria
The founder of the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministry International, Prophet Isa El-Buba, has urged immediate national measures to address escalating violence, kidnappings, and general insecurity in Nigeria. During the Black Sunday observance organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), El-Buba emphasized that the protection of lives must take precedence over political agendas and elections.
“Too many innocent lives have been lost. Too many communities have been displaced. Too many parents live with uncertainty about the future of their children,” he stated.
Speaking to an assembly of Christians, Muslims, traditional leaders, and public servants, El-Buba called for unity across various sectors of society to combat violence and restore peace.
“The bloodshed in Nigeria must stop. Every life matters. Every citizen deserves protection, and every community deserves peace,” he said, underscoring that security should be the nation’s foremost priority. “Before politics, before elections, before personal interests, we must secure the lives of Nigerians. No security, no election.”
El-Buba urged governments at all levels and security agencies to dismantle criminal networks, safeguard vulnerable populations, and rebuild public trust in the nation’s security infrastructure. He attributed the country’s challenges to issues such as corruption, greed, and the abuse of power, calling on the Church to be a beacon of conscience and accountability.
In extending cooperation to Muslim leaders and other stakeholders, he condemned the misuse of faith to justify violence, stressing that insecurity, poverty, and criminality impact all Nigerians, regardless of their religious or ethnic backgrounds.
He directly appealed to President Bola Tinubu for stronger leadership and decisive actions to tackle insecurity and rescue kidnapping victims. “We will not keep silent, we will not keep quiet, until our nation is recovered,” he asserted.
The Black Sunday service, themed “When The Land Bleeds: The Responsibility of the Watchmen and the Citizens,” drew from biblical passages including Ezekiel 33:1–9, Isaiah 59:14–16, and Proverbs 24:11–12.
El-Buba concluded by encouraging community leaders, educators, and public officials to speak out against injustice and mobilize citizens toward constructive action, urging Nigerians to reject silence and refrain from collaborating with criminal elements.
