Summary: FCT Minister’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, has sounded the alarm, urging the DSS and Nigeria Police Force to urgently investigate a viral video containing alleged threats against Christians in Jos and Enugu.
Lere Olayinka, the media aide to the FCT Minister, has raised serious concerns over a trending video making the rounds online that allegedly contains direct threats against Christians in Jos and Enugu — and he is not taking it lightly.
Olayinka wasted no time in calling on two of Nigeria’s top security agencies — the Department of State Services (DSS)* and the *Nigeria Police Force — to swing into action and thoroughly investigate the contents of the disturbing footage.
Why This Matters
In a country where religious tensions have historically led to tragic outcomes, any viral content threatening a particular faith community cannot be treated as a joke or dismissed as mere online noise. Jos, the Plateau State capital, and Enugu, a major city in the Southeast, are both home to large Christian populations — making the alleged threats particularly alarming to residents and Nigerians at large.
The Call to Action
By alerting both the DSS and the Police, Olayinka is essentially demanding that the authorities trace the source of the video, identify those behind it, and ensure that the rule of law prevails before the situation escalates.
This kind of proactive alert is exactly what citizens and public figures should do when faced with potential incitement to violence — because in Nigeria, we have seen too many times what happens when such warnings are ignored.
What Nigerians Are Saying
The video has reportedly gone viral across social media platforms, with many Nigerians expressing outrage and calling for immediate action. Security experts have equally stressed the need for swift response, noting that inflammatory content — especially when targeted at religious groups — can spiral out of control if not addressed promptly.
As investigations are expected to commence, Nigerians are urged to avoid sharing or amplifying the said video, as doing so could further inflame tensions. Instead, any information related to the source or spread of such content should be reported directly to the appropriate security agencies.
