The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has urged Nigerians to pray for the safety of general hospitals nationwide, warning of a possible security threat to public healthcare facilities.
Ayodele called for collective prayers to avert any tragic incident involving hospitals and urged government authorities, security agencies, hospital management, and citizens to remain vigilant while strengthening security around medical facilities.
He said hospitals are places of healing and should never become targets of violence, particularly general hospitals that serve thousands of Nigerians daily.
“I want Nigerians to pray seriously for all general hospitals nationwide. We must ask God to protect these institutions from any form of shooting or violent attack. Let us not take this warning lightly. Prayer and vigilance are both necessary to avert any unfortunate incident,” he said.
The cleric stressed that his warning was not intended to cause panic but to encourage preventive measures through prayer and improved security. He urged religious leaders, government officials, healthcare workers, and the public to unite in prayers for peace and safety, expressing hope that collective efforts and adequate security would help prevent any potential attacks.
