Three Brothers Lost to Cult Violence in Anambra’s Awka Community
In Awka, Anambra State, three brothers from the same family have tragically lost their lives in a series of cult-related attacks. Nonso, the most recent victim, was killed in broad daylight on Saturday, November 2, near Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital.
This follows the death of his younger brother, Buchi, three months prior and the earlier loss of their eldest brother, leaving their mother without any surviving children.
With over twenty cult-related deaths in recent weeks, Awka has become a hotspot for violent clashes between rival groups.
Anambra State Police Commissioner, Nnaghe Obono Itam, has vowed to investigate thoroughly, while Governor Chukwuma Soludo reassures the public of strengthened security efforts to curb the violence.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
