Apostle Emmanuel Nuhu, Vision Pioneer Throneroom (Trust) Ministry, Kafanchan has recently asked pastors to arm themselves against insecurity in Kaduna.
While speaking at the grand finale of the prayers and indoor protest sessions by Southern Kaduna Indigenes at ECWA Goodnews Church in Kaduna.the Apostle said that the present situation, if not arrested, may lead to revolution, where people would be forced to come out and defend themselves against the armed militia.
According to Nuhu, despite the presence of armed soldiers deployed by the Federal Government, the crises emanating from killings remains unbated in the communities.
Revealing how people come to meet him him, asking him to buy arms for them, he said
“They are calling on their pastors to take part of the offerings and buy arms for them to defend themselves. That is the level of despair. People are no longer afraid.” he said.
Calling on the the Federal Government and all leaders to employ workable strategy to tackling insurgency as he affirmed that failure to do is waiting explosion that would bring people out in a mass protest.
“For the first time in my life, I want to tell the Fulani that you have gotten your vengeance, leave the Southern Kaduna people alone. They are already pained” he said while adding that “though the Fulani are victims of their illiterate leaders. I’m saying this because the Fulani don’t have leaders; if they have, they should have done something to stop the bloodshed in Southern Kaduna”.
“I want to challenge the Fulani leaders to find solution to this problem. Let them meet with their literate leaders and not the illiterate ones. I think the old negotiation under the colonial era has become archaic. We have to make them understand that all Nigerians and other ethnic groups have a right in Nigeria as a nation to live.”
Maintaining that the problem in Southern Kaduna has gone beyond negotiation.
The clergy however, warned that President Muhammadu Buhari and other politicians need to stop backing Fulani up if they are serious in curbing insecurity in the country and the age-long Southern Kaduna crisis.
