A Kaduna‑based cleric has spoken out with deep concern over the ongoing attacks on Christian communities in Kaduna State, describing the violence as deeply troubling and calling for urgent attention to protect lives and places of worship.
Apostle Glory Helen Ikeleji of Christ Goshen City Assembly Worldwide decried the situation in an interview, saying that while Christians across Nigeria celebrated Easter, her heart was heavy over repeated violent incidents targeting innocent believers in the northern region. She lamented that attacks on Christians and their gatherings have become too frequent and distressing, adding that the continued bloodshed steals the joy of worship and creates fear among faithful communities.
Her comments come amid a series of deadly assaults in Kaduna, including a church attack on Easter Sunday that left worshippers killed and others abducted, prompting widespread alarm over Christians’ safety during religious observances.
For many faith leaders like Ikeleji, the message is clear: security must be strengthened, and lives must be protected, so that worshippers can practise their faith without fear of violence.
