There was wailing on Friday afternoon in Janibanibu village in Taraba State as the Catholic Church held funeral service for nine victims of the recent attacks on Janibanibu and Kasuan Bera communities by suspected herdsmen.

In his sermon during the service, Rev. Fr. Batare Eugene encouraged the people to forgive one another and return to God who alone he said could give and take life.

Batare said the grief following the attacks on Kona communities called for sober reflection and urged the people to unite against the common enemy trying to decimate them.

“I enjoin you to make peace with one another and trust God who alone can deliver us from the hands of the enemy.”

Fr. Cyriacus Kamai, the Parish Priest of St. John the Baptist Pastoral Area, Janibanibu, in his remarks condemned the blockage of the Jalingo – ATC – Wukari Road by irate youths during the crisis which led to the attack on innocent people.

Kamai who read the message of Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama and Bishop Charles Hammawa of Jalingo Diocese condemned the action of the youths. They called for calm and understanding.

“The Archbishop Kaigama and Bishop Hammawa all condemned the needless violence and burning of mosques by irate youths in protest over attacks on Kona communities.

“The two religious leaders urged parents and stakeholders to call the youths to order. The crisis is not a religious crisis and the state cannot afford to go into a religious crisis.

“Those attacking the communities are not in the town and we must avoid the temptation of attacking people inside the town to paint an impression of a religious crisis,” he said.

Our correspondent reports that five people were buried on Tuesday while four were buried on Friday in a mass grave in Janibanibu village.

It would be recalled that there were attacks on Janibanibu and Kasuan Bera communities on Sunday and Monday forcing people to flee the areas into the city centre in Jalingo.

Could this be the last tears and burial in that area?
Federal government should answer....

May their soul rest in peace. Amen!!

These are people's loved ones, dying deaths that could have been avoided if we really had human beings governing this country....
The big question remains " Do we really have a human being or a remote controlled he goat as a president or is there really a hidden agenda of this govt as being purported by some people?
Watching people die on daily basis yet nothing has been done and still went ahead to extend the tenure of the incompetent service chiefs is the height of insensitivity.
I have always believe that things will get better one day in this country but the idiotic bastards governing keep proving me wrong.

Bad news everyday. Is Nigeria a safe place to raise a Family? I don't think so

Victims of a failed country...R.I.P

I knew they were christians....I really feel bad for Christians in the north

They should just allow everybody to own guns.
We would protect ourselves better.
If someone is coming to rub you and they know you have guns they will think twice.

lugard u made a very big mistake..

When can we have peace in this country. Every part seems to be in crisis.

So my commandant once told me a story,a king's son broke his leg ; ,the tortoise then ran to the other animals and informed them ,but no one cared to pay attention, ..the tortoise then told them they would soon realise ...so the king asked the servants to kill a ram for sacrifice and also a chicken for the son so as to enable the healing process...the tortoise then reminded them of how he came to inform them,but dy didn't listen.when the son's leg was healed,the king asked them to kill a cow so as to celebrate the healing...that was when the animals wished they listened to the tortoise... ;Dwell that is the case of Nigeria...everybody is forming nothing heard...but if nothing is done,it will reach us all someday..... remember the future of our children...[color=#990000][/color]

Honestly!
To think that the governor is a Christian is disheartening.

Shut Up
Massacred by Fulani herdsmen

Supporters of Evil and terror will not make heaven

When the Igbos and Nnamdi Kanu, who by the way is the only true prophet, were talking the whole country were making jest of them. Now u see. Good morning. May God help us all.

why is the presido not saying anything about these?

Nigeria my country, I weep for you

The Fulani terrorists carrying out these attacks are invisible, that's why the security agencies are yet to arrest a single soul...

the family will mourn more than anyone but nothing bring dead to life... RIP
