We no longer know who to trust because of the society has become as a result of Banditry – Rev. Fr. Kukah

Rev. Fr. Matthew Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, has emphasized the urgency of addressing the prevailing insecurity in the country. During a conference held on Thursday, June 22, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Rev. Fr. Stephen Ojapah’s ordination, Kukah expressed that Nigerians now face fearful travels due to insecurity.

The Catholic Bishop further asserted that national development is unattainable without security.

He stated: “Unless we have a sense of respect for one another is enshrine and we take the sense of community beyond the boundary of religion and begin to see ourselves and create some level of civility around ourselves, it will be difficult. This is where I think religious leaders have a role to play.

“Trust is becoming a scarce commodity as we no longer know who to trust largely because of what the society has become as a result of banditry.”
