Popular Nigerian gospel musician Moses Bliss has joined the growing chorus of voices expressing profound grief and demanding justice after a viral video showed a horrific attack on worshippers at a church in Kwara state.
An Emotional Outpouring on Social Media
The artist, who recently celebrated the birth of his first child, took to his official Instagram page to share his shattered feelings. He posted an emotional reaction to the disturbing footage that has been circulating online, which shows bandits invading a place of worship and forcing congregants to flee for their lives.
In his heartfelt post, Moses Bliss questioned what crime the innocent worshippers had committed to warrant such a brutal assault. He described his heart as being in "deep pain" after witnessing the terrifying events unfold in the video. The singer specifically highlighted the plight of an elderly woman seen struggling to escape, asking what her offence was for simply seeking peace and prayer in God's house.
A Call for Action and Justice
Moving beyond grief, the celebrated gospel star issued a strong call to action. He demanded that concrete steps be taken to address the escalating attacks on Christians and places of worship across Nigeria. Bliss emphasized that lives and property must be protected by the authorities, and that the government needs to find a lasting solution to the persistent violence.
He also criticized individuals who have previously downplayed the reality of such attacks in the country. The musician posed a poignant question to the nation, asking how many more lives must be lost and how many more attacks must occur before effective measures are implemented to stop the bloodshed.
