Nicki Minaj says prayers for Nigeria amid abductions

US based Trinidadian rapper Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, popularly known as Nicki Minaj, has said a word of prayer for Nigeria and Cameroon over the rise in insecurity.

The rapper, on her X handle, reacted to Pope Leo’s call for the release of hostages in Nigeria. She asked that God intervenes in the matter.

“Dear God, release your immediate intervention in this matter. Rescue the hostages & may the peace that surpasses all understanding fall upon their families right now. Lord, we know your power. With faith & thanksgiving in advance, we claim the victory. In the mighty name of JESUS,” she wrote.

Nicki Minaj had previously voiced out her concerns over the rise in terrorism in Nigeria, backing US President Donald Trump’s claim of a Christian genocide happening in the country.
