The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Bishop Stephen Adegbite, along with the Commission’s Board members, has strongly condemned the recent attacks on innocent communities in the Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State by unidentified gunmen.
In a statement released recently, Bishop Adegbite expressed his deep sadness over these developments, particularly at a time when efforts are being made to ensure peace in our communities.
He extended his condolences to the Chairman of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, Rt. Rev. Prof. Cletus Gotan, a distinguished son of the state, regarding this heinous crime against humanity.
Bishop Adegbite described the actions of the unknown gunmen as cowardly and reprehensible, especially during the Lenten season when Christians are in a period of reflection and sacrifice. He lamented the significant loss of lives and the displacement of residents resulting from these attacks.
