Jos: Muslim youths provide security for Christians during Xmas service

A group known as Muslim Youth for Peace Initiative offered voluntarily to secure the road leading to Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) Christmas church service.

The youths who bridged the gap between both religions were led by their Coordinator, Muhammad Muntasir Adamu.

Adamu said the action by the group is the first of its kind in Plateau state, adding that, the idea is “to promote peace and harmony in Plateau State and Nigeria as a whole.

“We as youths have a duty in building a better society by showing good example. We intend to make it bigger next Christmas. I thank ECWA Church for opening their doors to us and trusting us with their security”.

“We must show the younger generation a better example. Our society has been so polarised especially with years of religion crisis in Jos. We are glad we had a peaceful and successful Christian service in Jos and may God bless our country”.
