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. 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. Beyond security measures, HURIWA appealed to traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth organisations and community stakeholders to resist attempts to inflame ethnic or religious tensions in the aftermath of the killings. 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.
