‘Unfortunate carnage’ — Pastor laments killing of 50 church members in Plateau attacks | TheCable
May 28, 2023 7:05 PMKeoleh Saleh, president of the Baptist Conference in Plateau, says 50 members of the church, including a pastor, were killed in recent attacks in Mangu and Barkin Ladi LGAs of the state.
He said the church has, in the past week, spent over N3 million to cater to the needs of the displaced persons taking refuge in various local churches. “Within one week, we have spent about N2m to get relief materials, but this is not enough, and our Baptist partners assisted us with N1m to make it N3m. But it is still not enough. We provided foodstuffs, clothing, shoes, mats, blankets and other items.”
He called on government and security agencies to intensify efforts toward bringing relief to the victims and finding a lasting solution to the killings in the state and nation at large.“This is a farming season, and the government should think of returning these people to go to their farms,” Akanji said.
