ECWA President Tasks Tinubu On Killings Of Christians

President of Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) and head of Denominational Churches in Plateau State, Rev. (Dr.) Stephen Baba Panya, has called on President Bola Tinubu to put a stop to the unwarranted killings of Christians and other innocent Nigerians that have been held captive in their own motherland.

ECWA president in a statement issued in Jos said there is so much of patience that individuals and communities can sustain as they have already taken more than their fair share of buffetings stressing that government must do all within its powers to resettle hundreds of thousands of Nigerians practically sacked from their ancestral homes by these criminal militias and other groups.

According to him, these attacks once again call for strategic intelligence, synergy, sincerity of purpose, commitment and the political will to address insecurity on the Plateau in particular and the country at large.

He urged  government and security agencies to track, arrest and prosecute the perpetrators and sponsors of this heinous crime against humanity.

“The message must be unambiguous that no one is above the law. The only way to rekindle the hope of Nigerians and build public confidence in the government is to bring all the criminal elements to book,” he said.

He further argued that as peace-loving Church organisations, COCIN, ECWA, Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal and other churches in Nigeria alike, have invested heavily in all positive aspects of the lives of millions of Nigerians irrespective of their faith and tribes.

“It beats our imagination as to why we have been made to constantly face cold blooded deaths, been constantly subjected to IDP Camps, and our places of worship and communities outrightly uprooted by those we welcome to live with us,” he said.
