 Christian Association of Nigeria can Kaduna State Chapter has called on the state government to be more proactive in mitigating the incessant killings, banditry and other security challenges. The Christian body secretary Reverend Kelleb Maaji says attacks on places of worship and killing of innocent citizens is evil and unacceptable by the Christian body as everyone has the right to religion has enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria. What is going on in the country and particularly in Kaduna State it is heartbreaking. It is something that we cannot describe because it is something that we never bargain for, something that is causing sleeplessness, causing nightmares here in the minds and the hearts of people now than ever before. I call on the state government to match their words with their actions because that's exactly what we want to see. Enough of the excuses being given, enough of the statistics being given, I think we need to be proactive. He says negotiating with the bandits who have no leader to control them would motivate them to continue attacking and abducting innocent citizens by demanding huge amount of ransom. It challenges government to rise to their primary responsibility of protecting lives and property of the citizens. Believers and Christians in Kaduna are known to be low abiding citizens and they will always be low abiding citizens. That is why Christians have never been in the offensive. They've never been in the offensive and we don't call for retaliation, we don't call for reprisal, rather we should resort to the weapon and the strongest weapon that God has given us, which is prayer.
