Insecurity or Insurgency? Fr. Mbaka Claims Politicians Are Using Mass Kidnappings to Undermine Tinubu

Renowned Catholic priest Fr. Ejike Mbaka has injected a controversial political dimension into Nigeria’s security crisis following the shocking kidnapping of school children in Oyo State. While demanding immediate rescue operations from national security authorities, Mbaka claimed that the rising tide of insecurity is not merely random criminality, but rather a coordinated subversive plot by political actors aiming to force a regime change.

In a statement expressing anger over the incident, he said:

“Governor Makinde wake up. Let the Nigerians match to Oyo state there’s a governor there. If they want to overthrow Tinubu it’s not by kidn@pping our children so that the whole Nigeria will be angry against the president…”

He further alleged a pattern behind national crises, saying:

“that was what they did against Jonathan they’ve started it again. It’s a satanic politicking agenda putting panic in the whole country so that everybody will say the president should go…”

Mbaka also questioned the motives behind the insecurity, adding:

“then if this one goes who else will come and they’ll support him. Governor Makinde take the phone and trace where they are. I’m speaking on prophetic anger it shall not be well those who are doing this thing because today it’s these children who knows who will be the next victim don’t think you’re safe.”

He concluded by warning about repeated vi%lence in political transitions, saying:

“Using atrocity each time they want to push a president.”

His remarks come amid growing public concern over rising kidn@pping cases in parts of the country, with security agencies continuing investigations and rescue operations.
