Renowned Nigerian artist Davido has responded to the recent abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi State and the attack on a church in Kwara State.
Recall that three people were k!lled during a church programme at a branch of the Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, in Kwara State on Tuesday evening, while some members were abducted alongside the pastor.
The tragic attack occurred less than 24 hours after the abduction of 25 secondary schoolgirls in Kebbi State on Monday, November 17, 2025.
Reacting to the frightening attacks in a statement shared on X on Wednesday evening, Davido said: “No family deserves this pain.”
Expressing concern over the security situation in Nigeria, the singer stated: “These acts of violence must never become our norm.
“My heart goes out to the young girls kidnapped in Kebbi and their families. No family deserves this pain.
“As Nigerians, we must stand together in unity and continue working towards a country where every child can grow up in safety and hope.
“Also, I am deeply saddened by the tragic attack on the church in Kwara State. I pray for the families who lost loved ones and everyone affected by this heartbreaking incident. These acts of violence must never become our norm. Everything must be done to bring the girls home safely. I urge anyone with credible information to come forward in whatever safe and responsible way they can, so it can support the ongoing efforts to rescue them.
“May God comfort the grieving families in Kwara, bring peace to our nation, and put every sponsor of violence and disorder to shame.”
