“Religious leaders must stop making provocative statements at this time that we should be making efforts as leaders to assuage frayed nerves by words from the holy books which should build, rather than further tear us apart,” the association said.

It praised security agencies for the effort they were making toward ensuring sustainable peace in the state, and urged them to do more.

It condoled with the families of security personnel and all those who lost their lives in recent attacks in the state and called for sincerity of purpose on the part of goverment in terms of entrenching lasting peace in the state.

The association advised Christians to be watchful and prayerful and urged them to defend themselves during unprovoked attacks.

It also urged citizens to strengthen surveillance efforts in communities and report suspicious movements to security agencies for prompt response. (NAN)
