Monday, June 29, 2026 -The Federal Government is not doing enough to curtail insecurity in the country, the Catholic Bishop of Yola, Bishop Stephen Dami Mamza, has said.
Mamza, who is the immediate past chairman of the Adamawa
State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said the Federal
Government is yet to show sufficient political will to end the lingering
security challenges.
Speaking with journalists shortly after presiding over the
closing Mass of the 2026 Yola Diocesan Pastoral Council in Yola, Mamza
expressed particular concern over continued killings, kidnappings, banditry,
and attacks on communities.
He said that despite repeated assurances by government
authorities, the security situation in many parts of the country remains
worrisome.
“The government must go beyond promises and take decisive
action to address the security challenges confronting the nation,” the bishop
said.
According to him, the safety of Nigerians should remain the
foremost responsibility of the administration, stressing, “We are tired of
failed promises.”
He advised security agencies to strengthen intelligence
gathering and improve the welfare of security personnel for effectiveness in
their operations.
