Bishop Jacob Kwashi, the leader of the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN in Kaduna state’s Zangon Kataf local government area, has denounced the recent spate of killings.

Kaduna Massacre: "If one cow is killed, military troops will ransack the community to make arrests, but we have 33 corpses and nothing has been done." - Clergyman Afro News Wire

Bishop Kwashi called on the state and federal governments to stop the killing while speaking on Sunday, April 16, at the mass burial of 33 people who died in an attack on Runji Village last Saturday, April 15, in the Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Many people, including children, were killed when bandits raided the community and started shooting at the villagers.

In response to the flurry of military activity to end the problem, the cleric declared that if a cow is accidentally killed in the area, several troops will be sent to find the individual who slaughtered the animal.

In his words

‘’We will not run away from our land. Even if they come tonight after us and we are killed, there will be some people who will talk and there will be the young who will rise again. So we ask that the government of Kaduna state, the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.. they should do the needful. They know what they should do to stop this evil. They know it. I have said it and let me repeat myself. If by mistake one cow is killed by any of the community here, the number of military troops that will enter and ransack the community and look for those to arrest because one cow has been killed… and now we have 33 corpses and a young boy of five years who has been beheaded. What has he done to these evil people”
