Security agencies must act against provocative religious remarks – Enenche

Senior Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre has criticized Nigerian security agencies for failing to address inflammatory remarks made by Islamic cleric Sheikh Muhammad Jingir. Enenche spoke out during a sermon on Sunday, expressing concern over the potential for such statements to incite religious tension and violence in the country.

He emphasized that Christianity is not secondary to any other religion in Nigeria, asserting that Christians constitute a significant portion of the nation’s population. Enenche questioned why security forces had not invited the cleric to be questioned over his comments, arguing that allowing such statements to go unchallenged could pose a threat to national peace.

He stated that security agencies should have taken steps to determine whether the comments were likely to provoke violence, rather than permitting the speaker to continue disseminating such rhetoric publicly. Enenche warned against taking the Christian community for granted, urging Christians to remain vigilant despite what he described as provocative statements.
