The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to bring an end to the killing of Nigerians across the country.
Okoh, who spoke at Atani, Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State during the dedication of Basilica of St. James the Great Cathedral by the Ogbaru Diocese, said it was the duty of the Federal Government to protect the lives and property of Nigerians in any part of the country.
The Anglican primate decried what he called the senseless killings of Nigerians by arms-bearing Fulani herdsmen.
He said people were not being killed only in Southern Kaduna, stressing that “everywhere in the country, Nigerians are being killed every now and then.”
He urged for the provision of adequate security for Nigerians in every part of the country.
The cleric enjoined Nigerians to continue to pray for the full recovery of President Buhari, to enable him to offer Nigeria the desired leadership for which he was elected.
Okoh also called for economic policies to cushion the effects of the economic downturn in the country.
