“It is a clear fact that CAN has the more to lose with the continuance of these madness. Since May last year to date in Southern Kaduna alone, over 1,000 Christians have been killed; over 53 communities with their churches have been destroyed and not less than 16 villages have been conquered and are now being occupied by Fulani herdsmen terrorists.
“The Imams and Ulama are the ones who are benefiting from this orchestrated violence with the new territories conquered for them. They are the ones that don’t want peace”, Asake said.
He lamented that the herdsmen seem to have been given a mandate to eliminate Christians in the state as they go about the killings without fear.
“While we will continue to pray for Southern Kaduna and other affected areas and play any role possible for peace, the world must be informed that the killings in Southern Kaduna is still going on with impunity, because the murderers have been given immunity and they feel they are untouchable.
To CAN, this is a surprising shameless, unveiled criminal support for evil. While, the killings of children, women, aged and the most defenseless of Southern Kaduna natives and the destruction of entire communities was at its peak, no one knew that a group called Council of Imams and Ulama existed in Kaduna State.
“CAN wishes to state that the demand of these Muslim preachers has again reaffirmed their hypocrisy.
