Killings: Buhari, El-Rufai have abandoned Southern Kaduna Christians – ECWA
ECWA stated this in a Communiqué issued at the end of its 67th General Church Council meeting, held at its headquarters in Jos, the Plateau State Capital, signed by Rev. Stephen Panya Baba and Rev. Yunusa Sabo Nmadu jnr, President and General Secretary respectively.
“The Council condemns in strong terms the mindless killing of the indigenous Christians in Southern Kaduna over the past few weeks which has assumed a genocidal magnitude and calls on the Federal government to apprehend the perpetrators to face the full wrath of the law, and to compensate the victims in the interest of justice.
It added that, “The manifest nonchalance of both the Kaduna State and Federal Governments to the plight of our compatriots is suggestive of their loss of the innate humane sense of value for life and their seeming abdication of their primary responsibility of securing the lives and property of their citizens.“Furthermore, the Council frowns at a recent statement credited to a Presidential spokesman explaining away these genocidal massacres as reprisal killings.
“Thus, the Council even more worried about the callousness of the government in changing the narrative of the attacks, bending it towards blaming the victims when in actual sense it is the government that has woefully failed in its constitutionai responsibility of protecting its citizens”.
