  • Gospel Singer Adeyinka Alaseyori Calls for Nationwide Prayer Over Rising Insecurity

    Gospel singer Adeyinka Alaseyori has called on Nigerians to intensify prayers for the country following recent cases of child kidnappings, as public concern over insecurity continues to grow across Nigeria.

    The gospel artiste made the appeal in a message shared online on Sunday, urging citizens to respond to the situation with spiritual unity rather than division or blame.

    Call for National Prayer

    Alaseyori said the rising tension and criticism surrounding the handling of abductions should not lead to political disagreements, but rather encourage collective prayer for affected families and security agencies.

    According to her, national healing requires spiritual intervention alongside institutional efforts.

    “So many people are saying the prayer they are praying is not working, but believe me, prayers are working. Don’t let anybody use you for political whatever. From the president to the last person in Nigeria, we need to pray,” she said.

    Appeal for Empathy and Support

    The singer also urged Nigerians to show empathy for security personnel involved in rescue operations, noting the risks they face in efforts to secure abducted victims.

    She stressed that prayer should be seen as a complement to government and security responses rather than a replacement.

    “Those children are your children. They are my children. You can’t say the president and security personnel are not working. Sometimes they are close, and something just covers their eyes—that’s where prayer comes in,” she added.

    Public Reactions and Ongoing Debate

    Her comments have generated mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians praising her call for unity and faith, while others maintained that stronger accountability and structural reforms are needed to address insecurity.

    The debate reflects ongoing national conversations following repeated abductions across parts of the country, including recent incidents that have heightened public anxiety.

    As discussions continue, the balance between faith-based appeals and calls for government accountability remains a recurring theme in responses to insecurity in Nigeria.
