The Cleric also called for an end to bloodshed in the country, stressing that whether that of a Christian or a Muslim, “every life is precious to God”.

“We must live in peace with one another irrespective of socio-cultural and religious backgrounds, if the country is to develop,” he said.

Suleiman also called on the Federal Government to put an end to the “senseless killings, in the name of kidnapping and banditry going on in some parts of the country”.

He expressed concerns over the continued killing of innocent people by bandits in Rafi, Shiroro, Munya and Mashegu local government areas.
