The Christians on the Plateau will on easter Sunday embark in a long walk against the injustice of insecurity being metted out to them.
As a matter of fact the march was a critical point on the announcement listed in most churches during services this morning April 13th 2025.
Christians were encouraged to share the message among Christian platforms all over the State with a theme: “THAT THEY DIE NOT IN VAIN”.
This protest march which is the second in the series in the state is meant to sensitize the entire world against continuous Killings of residents in Bokkos LGA and in Plateau State, and in Nigeria.
The Church on the Plateau, under the leadership of the Church Denominational Leaders and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Plateau State Chapter, is calling on all Christians to arise once again in unity, grief, and righteousness to protest against these wrongdoings.
A statement by the Rev. Gideon Para-Mallam for the Planning Team stated that between March 27th and April 2nd, 2025, nearly 80 innocent lives were brutally cut short in Bokkos council Area and this is not to include Bassa LGA and those of other parts of Nigeria.
“As a mark of honour for the dead and a cry for justice, the Church is organizing a 2nd Peace Walk to demand an end to these senseless, unprovoked, and continuous attacks in Plateau State and other parts of Nigeria.
“We must not be silent. We must not allow their blood to cry out unheard.
“We invite every Christian on the Plateau to come out en masse for this solemn but powerful procession all dressed in black.” Said Para-mallam
“The walk is slated to hold on Easter Sunday April 20 and on April 21st, 2025 Easter Monday beginning from 9am in the morning.”
On dress code, he went on to say “All Christians are to wear black to Church on Easter Sunday 20th and during the Peace Walk on Monday 21st. Black, Red and White Clothes.
“These three Colors represent a visible symbol of our mourning (Black), Red (End the killings and (White) peaceful resistance to impunity.
“The Gathering Point would be PRTV Roundabout Junction while the destination would be the new Government House, Little Rayfield, where we will lay our collective grief before President Ahmed Bola Tinubu through the Governor of Plateau State His Excellency Barr Caleb Manasseh Muftwang and demand decisive action to end the killings.
“This Peace Walk is a holy protest. It is a call for peace, justice, and security for every life on the Plateau and across Nigeria.
“We will walk for the victims. We will walk for the future. We will walk for a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria. (www.krestnews.com).
