NASFAT condemns rising insecurity in Nigeria

Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) has condemned the persistent wave of insecurity across Nigeria, describing the recurring attacks on innocent citizens and communities as tragic, alarming, and deeply troubling.

In a statement signed by the National Public Relations Secretary of NASFAT, Alhaji Shamsideen Owolabi Oseni, on Friday, the society expressed concern over the continued loss of lives, destruction of livelihoods, and the growing atmosphere of fear in many parts of the country.

NASFAT said peace, security, and social stability remain critical to national development, economic growth, and the well-being of citizens. It urged government authorities, security agencies, traditional institutions, and citizens to strengthen collaboration in protecting lives and property and restoring public confidence.

As part of its response to the situation, the society announced that special prayers would be held on Sunday in all its branches worldwide, seeking divine intervention, protection, wisdom, and lasting peace for Nigeria.

According to NASFAT, prayer remains a source of hope, strength, and moral renewal, especially during challenging times. It therefore called on its members and other Nigerians to participate in the exercise as a demonstration of unity, compassion, and national solidarity.

The society said the initiative reflected its commitment to promoting peace, harmony, justice and sustainable development, while reaffirming support for lawful and constructive measures aimed at addressing insecurity and strengthening understanding among diverse communities.

NASFAT also urged Nigerians at home and abroad to remain hopeful and united despite prevailing challenges, expressing confidence that the country would overcome insecurity through sincere prayers, responsible leadership, effective security measures and collective action.
