The entire Leadership and Members of the Northern Christian Religious Leaders Assembly (NOCRELA) express deep sorrow, outrage, and heartfelt condemnation over the tragic and senseless killing of innocent citizens that occurred in Angwan Rukuba, Gari Ya Waye area of Jos North Local Government Area in Jos, Plateau State on the Sacred Day of Palm Sunday.
Palm Sunday is a day that symbolizes peace, humility, and the triumph of love over hatred. It is therefore deeply painful and unacceptable that such a Holy Day was desecrated by acts of violence that led to the loss of precious human lives. These killings are not only an attack on individuals and families but also an assault on our shared humanity, our faith, and the collective peace of our nation.
NOCRELA strongly condemn this barbaric act and call on security agencies to immediately investigate the incident, bring the perpetrators to justice, and ensure that such evil does not continue to stain in our land. The lives of Nigerians must be protected, and no community should live under the shadow of fear.
We stand in solidarity with the grieving families, the Christian community, all residents of Jos, and the peace loving people of Plateau State during this painful moment. Our prayers are with the bereaved families, and we ask God to grant them comfort and strengthen their faith at this difficult moment.
Furthermore, we call on Religious Leaders, Community Leaders , and all Nigerians to reject violence, resist the forces that seek to divide us, and continue to uphold the values of peace, tolerance, and unity that our faith teaches.
Nigeria must not become a land where innocent blood is shed without consequence.
The sanctity of human life must remain sacred, and justice must prevail.
In view of the gravity of this tragedy and the increasing attacks on Christian communities in NorthernNigeria, NOCRELA hereby calls for an emergency meeting of Top Christian Religious Leaders across the Northern States of Nigeria to be held in Jos next week. The meeting will deliberate on the current security situation, the protection of Christian communities, and collectively chart a decisive way forward.
May God heal our land, comfort the bereaved, and restore lasting peace to the Plateau and the entire nation.
Signed:
Archbishop JohnPraise Daniel, Chairman, Northern Christian Religious Leaders Assembly.
