The association expressed condolences to the bereaved families and the people of Southern Kaduna, while praying for the speedy recovery of those injured and the safe return of those reportedly kidnapped during the attack. HURIWA expressed concern that the renewed violence comes at a time when Kaduna State has been making efforts to rebuild trust among its diverse ethnic and religious communities after years of political and communal tensions. Nigerians must deny terrorists that victory by remaining united and supporting lawful efforts to restore peace and security,” the statement said. “No amount of violence or intimidation should be allowed to frustrate ongoing efforts aimed at healing old wounds and consolidating peaceful coexistence among the various religious and ethnic communities in Kaduna State,” HURIWA stated. Reaffirming its solidarity with the people of Southern Kaduna, HURIWA urged the Federal Government to demonstrate through decisive action that every Nigerian life is equally valuable and deserving of protection.
