Catholic Bishops Accuse Federal Govt of Indifference over Southern Kaduna Killings
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has accused the Federal Government of Nigeria of indifference and lack of concern over the ongoing killings in Southern Kaduna. The bishops made this accusation during a press conference in Abuja, the nation's capital.
The CBCN expressed deep concern over the persistent attacks and killings in Southern Kaduna, which have resulted in the loss of many lives and displacement of thousands of people. The bishops called on the Federal Government to take immediate and decisive action to put an end to the violence and ensure the safety and security of the people in the affected areas.
The CBCN also accused the government of not doing enough to protect the people of Southern Kaduna, despite repeated appeals and pleas for help. The bishops urged the government to take concrete steps to address the root causes of the conflict and to ensure that those responsible for the violence are brought to justice.
The CBCN's accusation comes amid growing concerns over the rising insecurity in Nigeria, particularly in the northern regions. The Southern Kaduna killings have been ongoing for several years, with both Christian and Muslim communities affected.
The bishops' statement is a strong condemnation of the government's inaction and a call to action to address the crisis. It is a reminder that the Catholic Church is committed to promoting peace, justice, and human rights, and will continue to speak out against injustice and violence.
