Here We Go! Governor Darius Ishaku Of Taraba State, Calls On Christians In Southern Kaduna & Other Areas To Rise Up & Defend Themselves!

Taraba state governor, Darius Ishaku, has urged Christians in communities affected by the recent upsurge in religious crisis, to express their constitutional rights to self defense or face being wiped out by some of these extremists that have continued to wage war against them.

Governor Ishaku who spoke through the Secretary to the State government, Anthony Jellason, at a thanksgiving service organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria to celebrate the new year and to also pray for victims of Southern Kaduna massacre and other victims of terrorism across the country, voiced out his condemnation of the continued attacks on Southern Kaduna and some other christian communities by some Northern extremists calling on all Christians to rise up to the occasion and defend themselves or be wiped out by these extremists. 

“I was at the site of the mayhem in parts of Ardo Kola this morning and the level of destruction there is unimaginable. A few weeks ago, it was in Gassol, then Karim. We are all aware of what is going on in Southern Kaduna. The people must wake up from their slumber and defend themselves. You can’t just lie down and allow yourselves to be annihilated by other groups. You have a constitutional right to self-defense and now is the time to use it. The government alone cannot do it”he said.
