ECWA, CAN Organise Peace Walk In Jos Over Attack
By Solomon Pam, Jos
The Christian community in Plateau State on Monday came together for a solemn peace walk to Plateau State Government House, Little Rayfield Jos, to commemorate the tragic loss of hundreds of lives during the Christmas Eve attacks in Bokkos, Mangu, and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas.
Led by Rev. Dr. Stephen Baba Panya, President of Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), and in collaboration with Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the community presented their “10-point demand for peace” to Governor Barr. Caleb Mutfwang.
Rev. Panya expressed gratitude for proactive measures taken by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Mutfwang while emphasizing the need for more concerted efforts to address persistent attacks on Christians in Plateau State.
He said he was pleased with the Federal Government’s directive to relevant federal agencies for assistance and commended Governor Mutfwang’s efforts in condemning the attacks and providing aid to displaced survivors.
Rev. Panya called for enhanced security measures for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Bokkos and the reconstruction of destroyed communities.
Governor Mutfwang, while receiving the Christian community’s position, expressed gratitude for the support and assured prompt delivery of the petition to President Tinubu.
He said the President is commitment to ending the cycle of violence and emphasized the determination to secure the land, promising that the bloodshed would not be in vain.
