Prophet El-Buba calls for urgent action to end killings, insecurity in Nigeria

The founder of Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministry International, EBOMI, Prophet Isa El-Buba, has called for urgent national action to end killings, kidnappings and insecurity across Nigeria, insisting that the protection of lives must take precedence over politics and electioneering.
El-Buba made the call during the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Black Sunday observance, where he lamented the continued loss of innocent lives and displacement of communities, warning that democracy cannot thrive without security, justice and hope for citizens.

“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 said.

Addressing Christians, Muslims, traditional rulers, public servants, political leaders and youths, the cleric urged Nigerians to unite against violence and work collectively to restore peace across the country.

“The bloodshed in Nigeria must stop. Every life matters. Every citizen deserves protection and every community deserves peace,” he said.

El-Buba stressed that security should remain the nation’s foremost priority, declaring, “Before politics, before elections, before personal interests, we must secure the lives of Nigerians. No security, no election.”

He called on governments at all levels and security agencies to dismantle criminal networks, protect vulnerable communities and rebuild public confidence in the country’s security architecture.

The cleric also blamed corruption, greed, injustice and abuse of power for weakening the nation’s foundations, while urging the Church to remain a voice of conscience and accountability.

Extending a hand of partnership to Muslim leaders and other stakeholders, El-Buba called on religious bodies to reject and condemn the use of faith to justify violence, noting that insecurity, poverty and criminality affect all Nigerians regardless of religion or ethnicity.

In a direct appeal to President Bola Tinubu, he urged stronger leadership in tackling insecurity and called for decisive action to rescue kidnap victims.

“We will not keep silent, we will not keep quiet, until our nation is recovered,” he said.

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 urged pastors, traditional rulers, community leaders, teachers and public officials to speak out against injustice and mobilise citizens toward positive action, while encouraging Nigerians to reject silence and refuse collaboration with criminal elements.
