Kwara church attack: Pastor writes to Tinubu
On his X page, @myk_da_preacher, the pastor asked Tinubu critical questions concerning the release of the victims.
He wrote:
“Dear @officialABAT, thank you for making the CAC church victims return back home. However, what was the term of the release of the Kwara abductees? Did you pay ransom? Was it by Military action?
“If it was by military action, were the terrorists neutralised? Or were they arrested? How many were they? Or did you just go there and say, alright boys, how's work? It's time to give back the victims now, so Nigerians will see that I'm actually working and they can begin to trust my government again.
“Which one? You can't just tell us "they are released". How were they released??? These details are important to Nigerians. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

"You are in the spirit sir @myk_da_preacher. Exactly what was in my mind and what they did. Just to show you that the Bandits are an instrument of government. And these heartless power seekers have forgotten that these Bandits they are pampering are killing citizens at willing."
@gabriel_bolatit said:
"The captives were released what else do you want Àpọ́sítélì? Asking leaders questions is great, only if your church members can ask same critical questions about church finances and other logistics without reprimand."
@ajaxsim1 said:
"Honestly you spoke well but it lacks merit to be taken seriously, because how will be expecting a leader to divulge his secret on security to the citizens. To have it clear, you as a leader in your church, do you expose everything to your co faithful?"
@the_olamarx said:
"Questions begging for answers but they will never publish such answers."
