Nigerian rapper Olamide has expressed deep concern over the rising insecurity in the country, specifically highlighting the recent Kebbi kidnappings and the attack on a church in Kwara State.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, he wrote:

"Our nation has been hit by an alarming wave of one tragedy after another these past few days, and honestly, our hearts are broken.
We are struggling to process the devastating attack at the CAC in Kwara, even as we mourn the loss of the AFUED NYSC corps members.
Our worry is deep and constant, even as we hear that there have been more abductions.

In the face of these heinous acts, our nation must draw upon its strength and unwavering resolve to stand together against those who seek to divide us.
We as a people must unite to work and pray together for the safe return of the promising young minds kidnapped in Kebbi.
I am sending every ounce of peace and strength to the families grieving, and prayers that all the abducted persons are brought home safely.

These tragedies are a painful reminder that the safety and security of Nigerians must never be compromised. The right to life and education is fundamental. This can't be our reality. Peace should be a certainty, not just a desperate prayer."

Olamide’s message reflects his heartbreak over the escalating violence, including the church attack in Kwara State that left communities shaken and the abduction of students in Kebbi State. He urged Nigerians to stand united, pray, and work together to ensure the safe return of the kidnapped youths.

He also stressed that these incidents are a clear reminder that the protection of citizens’ lives and their right to education must remain a priority, emphasizing that peace should be a guaranteed reality rather than a desperate hope. Olamide extended his support to grieving families, calling on all Nigerians to maintain solidarity in the face of these crises.
