Renowned clergyman Prophet Bright has raised serious concerns over the escalating kidnapping and insecurity in Edo State, questioning the role of the state government in protecting residents.

In a video shared on social media, Prophet Bright criticized the state leadership, stating:

“If we don’t have an active Governor, we should know where we stand, because I see no reason why we should have somebody that calls himself a Governor and atrocity like this will be going on in a state.”

The prophet’s remarks come amid growing reports of criminal activities, including kidnappings and attacks, that have reportedly left residents fearful and communities in distress.

Calls for Urgent Government Action

Prophet Bright emphasized the need for active and accountable governance, insisting that citizens deserve leadership that prioritizes security and the safety of lives and properties. His comments have sparked discussions online, with many agreeing that state authorities must act decisively to curb the rising insecurity.

The video, shared by @prophetodehbright99, has gone viral on X and Instagram, prompting debates about government accountability, community safety, and the role of religious leaders in advocating for justice.

Public Reactions

Social media users have largely supported the prophet’s call for action, expressing frustration over the perceived inaction of political leaders in the face of criminal activities. Others have urged the government to implement immediate security measures and engage communities to restore peace.

As insecurity continues to dominate headlines in Edo State, citizens and religious leaders alike are calling for urgent intervention to protect residents and restore public confidence in governance.
