Crises: Leaders speak on peace-building

People of Southern Kaduna have been urged to close ranks and collectively tackle the unhealthy developments leading to crises in the area.

In an interview with Daily Trust they lamented that apart from the destruction of lives and property the trend has retarded the growth of the region.

Reverend Albert Abdullahi Saidu of Evangelical Church Winning All, (ECWA), Garaje, Kafanchan, regretted the unending security challenges have not only inflicted pains on victims but subjected them to untold hardships.

Similarly, Mr Yohanna Habila of the Kaduna State College of Education, Gidan Waya said anybody that does not live peacefully with others defeats the purpose of his religion as all religions preach peace.

The Secretary, Jama’atu Nasril Islam, Southern Kaduna, Alhaji Ilyasu Musa, noted that drug abuse was among the leading factors that drive most youths to engage in crises.
