Former presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad, has called on
relevant security agencies to take immediate action over a disturbing viral
video in which a Nigerian pastor allegedly urged youths to arm themselves with
AK-47 rifles and other dangerous weapons for self-defence.
In the video, the cleric, identified as Pastor Jemimah
David, was seen addressing her followers in Plateau State and urging young
people to fight back whenever they come under attack.
The remarks have sparked concerns, with some observers
warning that they could incite violence in the state.
Reacting to the video, which has been trending on social
media, Ahmad described the development as unfortunate and disturbing.
In a post on his official X handle, the former presidential
aide recalled how Nigerians across religious divides condemned a previous viral
video in which a young Muslim was captured singing a song considered to be
inciting.
According to him, people of different faiths condemned the
act and called for appropriate action.
Ahmad, however, expressed concern that a religious leader
could make similar remarks without considering the potential consequences.
"I sincerely hope the relevant security agencies will
take note of this video and take appropriate action in accordance with the
law," the post added.
The security crisis bedeviling the nation has prompted some
religious leaders to advise their followers on self-defence, especially when
they are being attacked by criminal elements.

Many of us condemned the content and called on the relevant security agencies to investigate and take appropriate action. Unfortunately, this is yet another disturbing video, this time showing Pastor Jemimah David preaching from her pulpit calling on youths in Plateau to arm themselves with knives, cutlasses and AK-47 rifles and take the law into their own hands. I sincerely hope the relevant security agencies will take note of this video and take appropriate action in accordance with the law.
