Pentecostal Bishops send message to the Nigerian government

It called on the government to rise up to the occasion by recognizing the urgent need to rejig the country's security architecture, to protect its citizens.
"It is no longer safe to travel to any part of the country. It is equally no longer safe at home, schools, hospitals, markets and work places. Criminality, kidnappings, banditries, and all manner of blood wastage is booming to the detriment of the lives of innocent Nigerians," the communiqué added.
