Kaduna Killings: Protesters Rain Curses On Gunmen, Leaders
As Sunday Sunday indoor protest against killings in Southern Kaduna entered week two yesterday, the protesters spit fire and rained curses on gunmen and selfish leaders that have put several communities into mourning in the last few months.
A good number of Christian protesters, wearing black attires, from different denominations under the auspices of Kaduna State chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had on August 2, set aside four weeks to continue to pray and rain curses against the perpetrators of the killings.
They would continue to wear black attires every Sunday throughout the month of August to protest against the killings of their kinsmen in Southern Kaduna.
The protest from day one was tagged, “Prayer/Indoor Protest on Southern Kaduna Killings”.
Tears flew freely down the cheeks of several members of the congregation when a video clip of a survivor of the attacks was shown, narrating how she escaped from gunmen in one of the attacks in the area.
Speaking at this Sunday indoor protest, President of HEKAN Church, world-wide, Reverend Amos Kiri called on the federal and Kaduna State governments to save the lives of the people of Southern Kaduna and Nigerians in general.
Reverend Kiri said, “All we are saying to government is to save the lives of the people of Southern Kaduna and Nigerians in general over these killings.
“Both the federal and State governments must listen to our cry carefully. Insensitive government and leaders of Nigeria should wake up from their slumber, from their comfort zone and rescue the people without discrimination of helping Mr. A and abandoning Mr. B in similar pains and agony. It is an injustice.
“Government who does not care for our people does not deserve to be called government. What is good for Jacob is also good for Esau.
“The lives of our people are being wasted every day in the North East. So also they are being wasted in Southern Kaduna. These killers are coming closer everywhere.
“I want to challenge our Christian brothers in government to show their identity and refuse to be quiet, but speak out against the killings.
