Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Most Rev Mathew Kukah, has berated looters for the country’s woes, praying that God directs his anger on them if they were not willing to repent.
Kukah also prayed God to make the nation’s leaders wiser to be able to address the economic and security challenges.
He spoke while recieving campaigners against human trafficking at the Saint Bakhita Secretariat, Sokoto on Monday.
“We condemn in a very strong term and we ask for the visitation if they don’t repent, we ask God direct punishment on them, all those who had misappropriated the resources of this country and who are the cause of where we are today because a country like Nigeria should have ordinarily no business with poverty because of its enormous resources.
“We also pray that God should make those who are currently responsible for managing our massive resources and those whose hands he placed our security, wiser, so that they can address our security and economic challenges,” he said.
