Bishop Kukah cries out over aimless killing of Nigerians

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Dr Matthew Hassan Kukah has
lamented the killing of Nigerians by those he tagged as enemies of the
nation.

Speaking when he led other members of the Catholic Church to Gandi
town where he donated relief materials to the Internally Displaced
Persons from Tabanni village in the Rabah LG area, Kukah called for
solidarity in such trying times.

Kukah aadvised that the Federal Government should work out a more
formidable measure capable of halting the ugly trend.

Seeing the gale of unwarranted killings going on in Nigeria as a ploy
to set the nation against itself, Bishop Kukah called for solidarity
in trying times irrespective of region, religion or political
affiliations.

"What we have come here to do as a Christian community is to respond
to disaster within our limited resources.

"The tragedy has already happened. We are here on solidarity. We are
not here to apportion blame.

"The governor, Sultan and other prominent personalities have already
been here. And this show of solidarity is important to send out the
message to this men and women of evil intentions that we are together.

"We will only continue to call on the Federal Government to do more
and protect us. Our people are dying aimlessly and mindlessly.

"This is another farming season, but now, people cannot go back to
their farms. There is evidence of another looming agricultural
disaster," he said.
