The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has felicitated with Muslims in Nigeria and across the world on the successful completion of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr.
These spiritual activities are significant and rewarding to every faithful, especially those who embrace the teachings as instructed in the Holy Books.
In a statement issued by CAN Northern chairman, Rev John Hayab on Sunday and made available to the press, said the religious body also expresses grief and sorrow as we mourn the killing of 16 travelers in Uromi, Edo State.
“The pain and anguish their families and loved ones must endure are unbearable, and we can only imagine the depth of their suffering.
“May God grant them comfort, strength, and solace during this darkest of times. This heinous act of violence is a stain on our collective humanity, and CAN condemns it in the strongest terms.
“The brutal taking of innocent lives is a tragedy that should unite us all in our outrage and our determination to ensure that justice is served. As Christians, we stand in solidarity with their families, recognizing that this act of violence is not only an attack on any region but on our shared humanity.
“In this moment of unimaginable pain, we pray for peace and calm to be restored and for an end to violence and bloodshed in our nation. We pray for the healing of our land, for the rebuilding of trust and understanding between people of different faiths, and for the protection of all Nigerians from harm.
“We weep with you, we mourn with you, and we pray with you for an end to this senseless violence. To the immediate families and relatives of the victims, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
“We can only imagine the depth of your pain and grief, and we pray that God grants you the strength and courage to bear this unbearable loss. May the memories of your loved ones be a blessing to you, and may their sacrifice not be in vain.
