Muslims and Christians Unite: Contributions Made to Secure Release of Kidnapped Christians, Says Kaduna CAN Chai
In a heartening display of solidarity and compassion, Rev. Joseph Hayab, the Kaduna state chairman of the Christians Association of Nigeria (CAN), has revealed that Muslims have made significant contributions towards the ransom money used to secure the release of kidnapped Christians. This uplifting news highlights the power of unity and cooperation between religious communities in the face of adversity.
Rev. Hayab confirmed the authenticity of a press statement by Kwamkur Samuel, former national director of legal and public affairs for CAN, regarding a viral video by Nasir El-rufai that addressed issues of Christians and Islamization. Alongside this, Rev. Hayab shared the remarkable development of Muslim communities coming together to contribute funds and even provide motorcycles as ransom for the release of 18 kidnapped Christians in Madala.
Expressing gratitude and admiration for the Muslim neighbors’ act of kindness, Rev. Hayab emphasized the significance of their actions as a shining example of genuine care and empathy. He commended their demonstration of true neighborliness, standing in stark contrast to those who revel in the suffering of others.
The church in Kaduna state is deeply moved by this gesture, viewing it as a valuable lesson in fostering harmonious relationships. While the incident was undoubtedly painful for the church, it ultimately serves as a reminder of the importance of fostering goodwill and understanding between different religious groups.
As of now, the 16 to 18 members of the church in Madala, located in Buruku, Chikun LGA of Kaduna state, have been safely released. Some of the individuals are receiving medical treatment for injuries sustained during their ordeal, and the church is thankful for their deliverance.
This inspiring story showcases the power of compassion and unity in overcoming challenges, serving as a testament to the shared values of love, peace, and solidarity between Muslims and Christians in Kaduna.
