The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday, called on Nigerians to support the military and other security agencies with prayers in their task of addressing security challenges in the country.
Adeboye made the call at his monthly telecast message, with the theme “Our Shield and Defender”, via the church’s television.
The prayer for the security agencies was coming against the backdrop of the spate of kidnaping, banditry and insurgency in the country.
The military has been at the forefront of quelling the Boko Haram insurgency ravaging the North-East, while insecurity in other parts of the country is also being tackled.
Adeboye expressed concern over the feelings by a section of Nigerians that the security agencies were not doing enough to curtail insecurity, saying that they were doing their best.
He, however, said that Nigerians should acknowledge the fact that the security operatives too had their limitations which could also have an adverse effect on their operations.
The general overseer chided those who were in the habit of criticising the military, adding that they should rather pray for them to be able to curtail insecurity so that the country could be at peace.
