The Nigerian Baptist Convention has condemned the wanton killings of Christians and destruction of churches by the Fulani militia in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.
President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Dr. Israel Akanji, in a statement, yesterday, expressed sadness over the incident, and called on security agencies to bring the culprits to book.
He wondered why the Fulani militias decided to strike during the Christmas celebration, when people were in the mood of giving thanks to God for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. He called on President Bola Tinubu to, as a matter of urgency, provide security to all Nigerians and bring an end to the wanton killings of Christians in the northern part of the country.
He stated that the Nigerian Baptist Convention is saddened with the continued killing of Christians like “chicken” in Plateau State and other parts of the country. He called on Christians provide assistance to those who lost their relations and those wounded in the attack who are currently in the hospital.
Rev. Akanji urged the security agencies to provide needed security to every Nigerian and put a stop to the senseless killings of Christians. He prayed for peace and security of the country, particularly those who are vulnerable to the attacks of Fulani militia and others.
