The National Emergency Management Agency has commended Muslims and Christians living in Kaduna metropolis, Kaduna State, for exhibiting love for one another during the reprisals that followed Sunday’s bombing of three churches in the state.
NEMA, in a statement by its Head of Information, Yushau Shuaib, said men and women of both religions haboured one another during the reprisal attacks.
The statement by Shuaib reads in full: “After the bomb explosions that occurred in some parts of Kaduna State on Sunday, security agencies and Search and Rescue officers have continued to safeguard lives and properties as well as attending to the plights of displaced people.
“A team of Search and Rescue officers from National Emergency Management Agency today received calls from Muslims who harbored and protected some Christians that were displaced during the weekend crisis.
“The officers also evacuated Christians who took refuge in Muslims homes.
“The interfaith cooperation took place at Sabon Tasha, Tirkaniya and Kudenda areas of Kaduna.
“Normalcy is gradually returning to the trouble cities as distressed people that were moved to Internally Displaced People Camp (IDP) have been reunited with their families.
