The end of religious crisis in Kaduna State seems to have finally come as no fewer than 150 Muslim youths including Imams attended Friday's Christmas service at the
Christ Evangelical Intercessory Fellowship Ministry, Kaduna.
The General Overseer of the church, Pastor Yohanna Buru said that the prayer was to encourage peaceful co-existence among different religious organisations and discourage "ethno-religious and political differences affecting the state for decades.”
According to Pastor Buru, , “More than 150 Muslims youths and Imams, traditional title holders and various groups attended Christmas service with their Christian brothers in order to promote peace and harmony and religious tolerance across the state.
“Prayers were offered by both Muslim and Christian scholars and we also prayed for the unity and development of the country.
“I am very happy with what I witnessed today. Today is a very special day to all Christians all over the world.
"It is surprising to see that not only Christians came to worship with us today.
“We have large numbers of Muslim youths and traditional title holders who joined us in prayer; this is a clear fact that Nigerians can really be their brothers’ keepers; it is amazing.
“We all must remember that we are from same parents (Adam and Eve) and we all worship one God,’’ he said.
Among the traditional rulers at the church service was Alhaji Ahmed idris, the Chika Soran Zazzau and Hakimin Unguwar Ma’a’zu,
NAN reports that while the Christmas service was going on, some Muslim youths provided security around the church.
