The Congress of Northern Nigerian Christians (CNNC) on Wednesday called on the federal government to investigate the remote causes of Kaduna crisis that claimed lives and property last week.
The religious group disclosed this in a statement signed by their Media and Publicity Secretary, Larry Joseph Yammai, made available to newsmen in Kaduna.
The group said they are seriously concerned with the disgraceful security situation in Kaduna State that has claimed over 100 lives and destroyed unquantifiable properties this October.
“The situation has been clearly exacerbated by the lack of unbiased leadership in the state which has further alienated the citizens along religious fault lines.
“So we call on President Muhammadu Buhari to quickly set up a high-power body to investigate these shameful acts with the aim to find lasting peace,” he said.
The group also expressed concerned over the fate of Leah Sharibu and other Chibok girls that are still in Boko Haram captivity in the northeast, saying the FG should rescue them from their abductors.
CNNC notes with grave concern the rapid deterioration of the security situation across the nation particularly in the northeast.
