Kogi Security Adviser, Jerry Omodara Hosts Muslims and Christian Community Leaders in Celebration of EID-el-Kabir

In the spirit of unity and peaceful coexistence, the State Security Adviser, Commander Jerry Omodara (rtd), convened a strategic and symbolic meeting with leaders of both Muslim and Christian in his Community, Oke Offin Bunu on Friday, 6th June, 2025. The gathering was held in celebration of the holy festival of Eid-al-Adha, a season marked by sacrifice, reflection, and generosity.

The primary aim was to foster interfaith dialogue, strengthen community relations, and reinforce the importance of unity in the collective fight against insecurity. The State Security Adviser used the festive occasion to bridge religious divides and express appreciation for the peaceful cohabitation that continues to define the state’s diverse population.

Commander Omodara began by extending warm Eid Mubarak greetings to the Muslim faithful, while also acknowledging the presence and support of the Christian leaders who joined in solidarity. He praised the symbolic gesture of mutual respect shown by both religious communities and emphasized that such gestures were crucial in building a secure and inclusive society.

He reflected on the essence of Eid-al-Adha, highlighting that its themes of sacrifice, faith, and compassion resonate with values common to all faiths. “We may worship differently,” he noted, “but we are united by our shared humanity and our collective hope for peace.”

The security chief lauded the communities for their sustained commitment to peace and tolerance. “This state has become a model of interfaith harmony,” he remarked. “And that harmony is not just a moral triumph, it is a vital asset in our security architecture.”

He emphasized that the success of modern security strategies relies heavily on community intelligence and early warning systems, which can only function where mutual trust exists. He appealed to the religious leaders to continue fostering grassroots vigilance and to encourage their congregants to serve as watchdogs for peace, not agents of division.

“When people feel safe with one another, they speak up. When they speak up, we can act quickly. Peaceful coexistence is not just ideal – it is strategic.”

Jerry Omodara also acknowledged that interfaith unity was not without its challenges but stressed that leaders had a moral duty to model tolerance and foster environments where differences are respected and protected.

Various religious leaders took turns to share goodwill messages and express gratitude for the inclusive spirit demonstrated by the State Security Adviser.

Imam Idris Yusuf a respected cleric from the central mosque Oke Offin, thanked the State Security Adviser for his constant support to the Community and recognizing the religious season as a platform for dialogue, not just celebration.

The Oluwoa of Oke-Offin – HRH Oba James Ayinmode appreciated Commander Omodara for his continuous engagement with the people and pledged the support of the community in enhancing security awareness.

Several opposition members in the Ward also used the opportunity to decamp to the All Progressive Congress (APC), marking a significant moment for political harmonization and unity.

The meeting ended on a high note with symbolic prayers offered by both faiths for the continued peace and prosperity of the State.

The meeting served as a powerful reminder that peace is not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of understanding, respect, and cooperation. Commander Jerry Omodara’s leadership in using a religious celebration as a platform for unity and strategic dialogue stands as a commendable example of inclusive governance in a plural society.
