Pentecostal Bishops call for an end to southern Kaduna killings

The Southern Kaduna killings have prompted the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of the 19 Northern States (PBFNS) in Nigeria to call for immediate action to quell the killings.

They demanded has for prompt fortification of security arrangements in the entire Southern Kaduna communities.

The call was made by John Praise, the Chairman of PBFNS, at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said that the killings in Southern Kaduna must stop, adding that the government must ensure prompt arrest and prosecution of perpetrators of the dastardly act as well as their sponsors, whoever and wherever they may be.

He said,

“The situation had assumed a dangerous dimension of ethnic cleansing, going by the methodology and clinical decimation of the population of the indigenous people with mindless ruthlessness.

At the last count, communities have been attacked by armed herdsmen, alleged to be of Fulani extraction while many have been killed and rendered homeless.”
