Those who made the submission were the immediate past-President of the Christian Council of Nigeria, Most Rev. Benebo Fubara-Manuel and former Chief Imam of the National Assembly Legislative Quarters Mosque, Sheikh Muhammad Nuru Khalid.
Figures collated from media reports of targeted attacks on churches and mosques in 2022 in Nigeria indicated that 139 clerics were killed while at least 394 Christians and Muslims were kidnapped. Fubara-Manuel and Khalid expressed their minds during a one-day high-level engagement with youth religious leaders initiated by a KAICIID Fellow, Rev. Dr Uzoaku Williams, with support from the International Dialogue Centre, KAICIID, in Abuja, with the theme, “The protection of Holy Sites and sacred places: The role of young Leaders.”
Uzoaku Williams explained that the aim of the high-level engagement was to sensitize and build the capacity of young religious leaders on their roles in protecting the holy sites, sacred sites, in the country, saying that is a major focus of the programme. While describing the attacks as unfortunate, the clerics said that they threatened the freedom of religion, which is the bedrock of moral development.
