Popular preacher Jerry Eze has sparked criticism online over his reaction to the recent killings in Plateau State, as Nigerians grieve the victims of the tragic incident.
According to reports, gunmen attacked Angwan Rukuba, a community in Jos North Local Government Area, on the night of Sunday, March 29, leaving more than 30 people dead.
The attack has been widely condemned, with many Nigerians, including public figures, expressing sorrow and anger over the loss of lives.
In reaction, Pastor Jerry Eze shared a message on X (formerly Twitter), where he prayed for the victims and the affected community.
He wrote:
“JOS – JESUS OUR SAVIOUR! The Mercy of EL-ROI has Prevailed!! May the Wickedness of the Wicked perish with them!!!”

His post conveyed a spiritual appeal, calling for divine intervention in the face of the violence.
However, his statement did not sit well with everyone. Shortly after, some Nigerians took to social media to question whether prayers alone are enough to tackle the ongoing insecurity.
While acknowledging the role of faith, many argued that more practical and decisive actions are needed to address the recurring attacks.
