Funke Akindele, Falz, AY, Mr Macaroni Condemn Kwara Church Attack, Demand Urgent Action
Nigerian entertainers have expressed outrage following the recent attack on a church in Kwara State, where bandits killed worshippers and abducted several others. Funke Akindele, Falz, AY the Comedian, and Mr. Macaroni took to social media to condemn the violence and call on the government to take urgent action. Falz criticized the authorities, asking: “How many more people have to be kidnapped and murdered in cold blood? How many more lives do you want to waste? How many more futures do you wish to erase with your incompetence and inaction? @officialABAT” Mr. Macaroni slammed the government for its failure to protect citizens, writing: “Nigerians are waking up to yet another terrorist attack on a church in Kwara State. We have a tone‑deaf President, a callous and irresponsible government surrounded by the worst set of sycophants whose deception has made this country unbearable for the people!” Funke Akindele expressed her heartbreak after seeing footage of the attack: “Woke up to see a livestream of people being attacked inside a church in Kwara. 😭😭 This is sad and disturbing. I wept seeing that old woman who couldn’t walk well running for safety.” AY the Comedian highlighted the growing insecurity and the government’s inaction: “Nigeria is turning into a crime scene. Bandits storm churches to kill and abduct Christians. Children are kidnapped from schools. A Brigadier General is shot dead. Every day brings fresh chaos yet the government remains silent. How did we get here? Must outsiders come to fix what our leaders refuse to confront? We need safety, accountability, and real action, not silence.” Their reactions reflect widespread frustration over the rising insecurity in Nigeria and the urgent demand for decisive action to protect lives and restore peace.
