Insecurity: Nigeria under siege by forces of darkness – Bishop Kukah

Matthew Kukah, the catholic bishop of the Sokoto Diocese, lamented the negative consequences of insecurity on education in Nigeria on Saturday.

The acclaimed cleric, who gave the keynote talk at the Parents Summit of the 2023 Education Week in Edo State, compared terrorists to those who reject humanity and are responsible for the alarming incidents of insecurity throughout the nation.

“As we can see, our country is now being ravaged and threatened by the forces of darkness, those who have said no to humanity and those who have said no to education, whether they manifest themselves in the murderous and destructive excesses of Boko Haram or banditry,” he said.

According to him, without such resistance, Nigeria has no future.

“Not only have they destroyed the image of the country, they’ve destroyed the image of religion. They’ve made us victims and suspects. So, really, no distance is too much for me to cover when it comes to education,” he said.
