The Executive Secretary, Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission, NCPC, Rev. Takubu Pam has expressed worry over the mayhem unleashed on commuters in the Rukuba axis of Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In a Press Statement signed by his Media aide, Pam Ayuba, Rev Pam, described the incident where 23 persons were killed as saddened and sued for peace and tolerance amongst the various ethnic groups and religions in the state.
“I am disturbed because many times I have made similar appeals for us to see the need to live as a people God has destined to dwell together. There’s no better approach to peace than we value ourselves as the creation of God.
“There’s no better option to Peace than being very tolerant of each other. This is not the Plateau bequeathed to us by our forefathers. Our value systems are more than these” He said
He added that, we have the responsibility and commitment to love one another and must see it that way and acknowledge the sacrosanct nature of human life as there’s no better justification in taking a life God created.
“As I have often said and I wish to reiterate that ‘we can’t as humans fight God’s battles. God sees and knows the pains we go through in Plateau state. Let Him contend with our adversities at His own time and space. The God who we serve is not dead! He’s alive and effective” the ES noted.
While commiserating with the families of the victims and prayed to God to heal the injured receiving medical attention in the hospital, Rev Pam also identified with the Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Simon Lalong and the measures being put in place to arrest the ugly situation.
