RMD reminded Nigerians that the Kwara attack came just days after the abduction of 25 schoolgirls and the killing of a school vice principal.

For him, these incidents are not isolated headlines but painful indicators of a country losing its moral and human foundation.

He wrote:

“What happened in Kwara is a wound to our collective soul. Innocent people, gathered in peace, met violence they did not deserve.”

He questioned why peaceful worshippers should live in fear in a nation that claims to value freedom. He added that families should never have to bury loved ones simply for going to church.

The actor praised the boldness of clergyman Rev Ezekiel Dachomo, saying his public warnings about rising insecurity have become impossible to ignore.

According to RMD, Nigeria can no longer rely on “silence, evasive statements, and endless committees” when lives are being lost repeatedly.

@kennypraise_focal:

"To my fellow Nigerians 🇳🇬 We need to wake up and take responsibility before our government completely destroys this country. In the past few months, kidnapping, banditry, and genocide have become rampant. Killing and abduction are now becoming normal in Nigeria, and this should never be so."

@jmapelle_em:

"If the leaders are in your let them take the back seat until they get the job done, after all this is what they do to families that their children in church get pregnant or take alcohol. No more shame, no more empty glorification. Tell them to withdraw and reject their tithe. The people are watching."
