Bishop Matthew Kukah of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, on
Wednesday, led a procession against insecurity in Nigeria.
The march was organised by the diocese to mourn Nigerians
killed by Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists, bandits and kidnappers.
NAN reports that hundreds of Christian and Muslim faithful
in Sokoto walked from Abdullahi Fodio Road through the Central Market road to
Ahmadu Bello Way.
They ended at the Holy Family Catholic Cathedral, Sokoto.
In his remarks, Kukah explained that the procession was to
mourn and pray for Nigerians whose lives were cut short by outlaws.
He commended the Muslim communities in Sokoto state for
joining the gathering.
Kukah said “the situation in Nigeria where one could not
sleep with one eye closed” was very worrisome.
The revered cleric added that the season of lent was a
period of soberness and prayers and declared that the church would use the
period to pray for peace in Nigeria.
Kukah urged citizens to continue to pray for Nigeria to
overcome its many challenges.
