The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has expressed deep concern over the worsening security situation in Nigeria, declaring that terrorism has become a personal reality rather than a distant problem.

Speaking at the inaugural US-Nigeria Faith Heroes Award Gala in Washington, D.C., Pastor Adeboye urged the United States and its allies to strengthen cooperation with Nigeria in addressing terrorism and violent extremism.

According to the respected cleric, the growing insecurity has spread beyond previously affected regions, making it a national challenge that requires greater international collaboration.

His appeal comes amid escalating attacks in the North-West and North-Central, with bandits and terrorists increasingly targeting religious and rural communities.
