Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Davido, has condemned the abduction of 25 students at Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, at Danko/Wasagu Local Govment Area of Kebbi State, and the attack on a branch of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku, Kwara State, by bandits.
Three worshippers were killed during a church programme at a branch of the church on Tuesday evening, while 35 members have been reported kidnapped, alongside the pastor.
The tragic attack occurred less than 24 hours after the abduction of 25 secondary schoolgirls.
Reacting to the frightening attacks in a statement shared on X on Wednesday evening, Davido wrote:
“No family deserves this pain. These acts of violence must never become our norm.
“My heart goes out to the young girls kidnapped in Kebbi and their families. No family deserves this pain.
“As Nigerians, we must stand together in unity and continue working towards a country where every child can grow up in safety and hope.
“Also, I am deeply saddened by the tragic attack on the church in Kwara State. I pray for the families who lost loved ones and everyone affected by this heartbreaking incident. These acts of violence must never become our norm. Everything must be done to bring the girls home safely. I urge anyone with credible information to come forward in whatever safe and responsible way they can, so it can support the ongoing efforts to rescue them.
“May God comfort the grieving families in Kwara, bring peace to our nation, and put every sponsor of violence and disorder to shame.”
