Northern Christian scholars condemn lynching of 16 travelers in Edo

Published on March 29, 2025 at 03:42 PM

Christian scholars from northern Nigeria have condemned the brutal killing of 16 travelers in Uromi, Edo State, calling for justice and peaceful coexistence.

Among the voices speaking out against the act is Pastor Dr. Yohanna Buru, General Overseer of the Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry in Kaduna, who described the mob attack as a tragic example of unjust violence fueled by false accusations and ignorance.

“The loss of these innocent lives has shocked the nation, and the incident has dominated social media, with many expressing their horror and disbelief,”; Pastor Buru stated.

The victims, mainly Hausa hunters, were on their way to Kano for Sallah celebrations when they were intercepted by members of the Edo State Security Corps and local vigilantes, falsely accused of being criminals, and lynched.

Pastor Buru, also a representative of the Human Rights Agency under the United Nations in Nigeria, urged authorities to hold those responsible accountable and called on youth groups to reject mob justice and violence.

“We must ensure that such a tragedy does not happen again in the future,”; he said.

He further appealed to the Hausa community to remain calm and seek justice through legal means rather than revenge.

Similarly, Pastor George John, another northern Christian leader, condemned the attack and urged Nigerians to support one another, regardless of ethnic or religious differences.

“We are one nation, and we must stand united in building a better, more peaceful Nigeria,”; he concluded, encouraging both Muslim and Christian scholars to dedicate the remaining days of Ramadan and Lent to praying for national unity.
