In order to achieve their selfish and oppressive aim they resort to violence that puts fear in their opponents. By these act of violence and treachery they build so much confidence because they could muster…
From the tragedy in Owo two weeks ago that shook our nation to its core, to the killings and kidnappings just this weekend in Kaduna State, it is clear that there is a design by wicked people to put the country under religious stress.
