The incident, which occurred on Palm Sunday and involved suspected armed militants, has intensified public concern and renewed debates about alleged targeted violence against Christians in parts of Nigeria.

Reacting to the situation in a video shared on his Instagram page, Portable expressed disappointment over what he described as the silence of religious leaders.

He questioned why pastors have not taken stronger action or spoken out more forcefully in response to repeated attacks affecting their congregations.

The singer also accused some religious leaders of prioritising their personal safety while their followers continue to face danger.

He argued that pastors should take a more active role in defending their congregants and even lead peaceful protests to draw attention to the killings.

Portable further suggested that reactions would be different if other religious groups were affected in a similar way, implying that there would be stronger and more immediate responses.

In his words, he called on pastors to take bolder action, insisting that they should not remain passive while their followers are being attacked.
