The head of the North Central Province of the Church in Northern Nigeria has urged President Buhari to stop the killings taking place across the country.

The Daily Sun and Daily Post reported that Babalola in a statement in Jos, Plateau State, condemned the state of killings in the Church, describing it as a menace that could scare away foreign investors.





A part of the statement reads: “I want to task our President to do more to protect all Nigerians. When a section of this country is been killed, I believe as a President he will not be happy because a community will not forget easily a king that reigns and people rejoice; likewise it will have a negative perception of a king that torments and terrorizes citizens.

“President Buhari needs to be proactive; he should not let people see him as being in favour of one religion against another. He must protect all citizens and should not allow people to see him as if he is presiding over ethnic cleansing in the country,”

“The killings in the country, particularly in Plateau, Benue, Taraba, Zamfara and other parts of the country have scared foreign and local investors from coming into the country. We must pray collectively to God to help us restore peace.”


“What we need now is for people to embrace each other and forget ethnic, religious and political differences. Fighting and using arms to kill each other will not benefit us and is not in the interest of God.”
