The Christian community also sent a message of hope to Leah and all those in captivity including Muslims.
They also prayed for the repose of the soul of Bitrus Zakka, the CAN Chairman from Michika, Adamawa State, who was recently murdered by Boko Haram.Taking solace from the holy scriptures, the state CAN Chairman, Philibus Yakubu, quoted from the Book of Jeremiah 1:19 to justify his message of hope.
“They will fight against you but they will not overcome you, for I am with you. Yahweh declares to rescue you,/ he said. He condemned the, “high level of social violence such as political violence, inequality, injustice, banditry, ethno-religious strife, kidnapping, armed robbery, herders/farmers clashes, militancy, the inhuman and dreaded activities of Boko Haram which seem to have taken place without interlude, not to mention corruption, poverty, strikes, or health services, poor educational system and the likes.”He also called on the federal government to make security its topmost priority.
He equally enjoined citizens to play their part by supporting the government, just as he praised all security agencies for their sacrifices in bringing peace to some troubled areas but he called on them to up their game.
