Nigerian Baptist Convention has urged Nigerians to be security conscious.

The Chairman, Central Workers Committee, Night of Wonders of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Rev. Johnson Adeleke, said this on Thursday at the press conference on the Night of Wonders themed ‘The potter’s touch.’

Adeleke said, “It is needless to say that the Christians in particular and the citizens in general should be security conscious. They must report suspicious activities around them. As the government is playing its role the people should also not relent in ensuring their safety.

“Our nation, no doubt, is in a great turmoil with the issue of insecurity at the top. It is in the midst of this that God called us to pray.

“Even President Goodluck Jonathan said that government knows those behind Boko Haram but government has done nothing to expose them. If government confirms that they know the people and cannot do anything what can the ordinary citizens do?”

He stated that the insecurity in Nigeria had an insiders’ touch.

He said, “We are praying that God should fish those behind the act out and expose them. Insecurity is a global issue but we want God to expose those behind it in Nigeria.”

The programme, tagged, “The Potter’s Touch,” comes up today  at the Baptist Convention ground, Idi-Ishin, Jericho, Ibadan, by 10.p.m, according to Reverend Adeleke. attacks in Nigeria.
