From Ukum, katsina-Ala, Buruku, Ushongo, Vandeikya, Makurdi, Gwer-East, Kwande and other places, the stories are not pleasing. I take this time to, from the debt of my heart, sue for peace and call on the warring factions to sheath swords and embrace peace. It is also my prayer that the good Lord will console the families of the bereaved and grant the dead, eternal rest. Amen.”
