Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Oyo State chapter and Concerned Christian Citizens, have raised concern over the killings of Christians in Southern Kaduna, and calls on President Mohammadu Buhari to intervene before it become a major concern.
The group led in prayer by the Chairman of Oyo State chapter of CAN, Apostle Joshua Akinyemiju, prayed for God's intervention on the killings and the unchecked violence perpetuated by suspected Fulani herdsmen and Bandits etc. in Southern Kaduna.
Speaking after the prayer meeting held by the Christian group and CAN officials and members in Ibadan over the killings in Southern Kaduna, one of the Convener of the programme, Mrs Foluso Makanjuola-Oyenuga said President Buhari must as a matter of urgency come to the aid of the people especially the Christians in Southern Kaduna, to stop the unchecked violence by Fulani Herdsmen and Bandits that have led to multiple death in the area.
"President Buhari as a matter of urgency should do whatever it takes to stop the unprovoked and unchecked violence caused by the Bandits, Fulani herdsmen and others, on the Southern Kaduna who are predominantly Christians, to avoid unnecessary chaos in the land.

"The killings has been going on for a long time and if not stopped now, may lead to further break down of law and order which will definitely give the country a bad image," Mrs Oyenuga said.
Explaining the rationale behind the prayer meeting, Apostle Akinyemiju said with the killings and the violence in Nigeria, the country needs God because human beings cannot do it alone by themselves.
"What we have done today, this is the way it is supposed to be. We are supposed to hand over Nigeria to God for peace to reign because what ever human beings cannot do, we hand it over to God and God is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
"So what we have done, we have handed over the killings and violence in Southern Kaduna to him to handle so that peace can reign," Apostle Akinyemiju, who is a retired Colonel said.
Also speaking, one of the leading voice of the prayer, Bishop Daniel Oluwajimade, Pastor of Emmanuel The Saint Sabba Evangelical Mission, Gbekuba, Apata, Ibadan, said Christians all over the world are not happy about what is happening in Southern Kaduna and that is why we are calling on God to help us end the ugly trend.

"What we did here today is needful because if such thing is not done people wouldn’t know that we are not happy. All Christians in Nigeria are not happy about what is happening in Southern Kaduna and the northern part of this country.
"Its not really a demonstration but a way of showing the Calvary heart that Christians carry to tell the government that what is happening in the northern part of Nigeria, especially in Southern Kaduna is not the best. The situation must be attended to,and certain things must be done about it."We have come to pray and we have prayed for the whole nation and whatever is going on, we believe in the power of prayer that the ugliness in that region is going to be arrested by the power of God," Bishop Oluwajimade said.
The coordinator of the project, Olubunmi Sodipo said the plan of the Concerned Christian Citizens for starting the project is to create awareness for all people to see the plight of the Southern Kaduna people so the government would do the needful to stop the killings.
"The basic reason is to raise awareness about the plight of our brothers and sisters in Southern Kaduna, in the face of the killings and the denials.
"We believe it has gone on for this long because the rest of us and indeed the world, particularly we Christians have been largely quiet about this evil.
"To remedy this situation, we have decided to take action. We are the Body of Christ. If any part suffers the others suffer with it. Our chosen action involves Christians making a commitment to buy and wear branded T-Shirts to raise awareness and possible public outrage at the Southern Kaduna killings. Each T-Shirt costs N1,500 and we have been overwhelmed at the response we are getting." Olubunmi Sodipo, the Project Coordinator said.
Among the Convener is an octogenarian, Professor Adebisi Sowunmi, who is so passionate to see the end to this killings, and transformation of the country at large.
