TODAY I CONDUCTED A MASS BURIAL FOR 22 CHRISTIANS KILLED IN KAWEL COMMUNITY, BOKKOS LGA
Today was one of the most painful days of my life.
With tears in my eyes, I stood before twenty-two graves in Kawel Community, Mushere District of Bokkos LGA, Plateau State, where I conducted the mass burial of twenty-two Christians killed during the tragic attack of June 21, 2026.
Just days ago, they were with their families—sharing meals, laughing, praying, and looking forward to tomorrow. Today, their loved ones laid them to rest.
I watched mothers mourn their children, children cry for parents who will never return, wives weep for their husbands, and elderly parents bury sons and daughters they hoped would one day bury them.
One child asked, “Who will take care of me now?” Another cried, “Why did they take my father away?”
These twenty-two lives were not numbers. They were fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters—people created in the image of God, loved by their families, and full of dreams.
As the graves were covered with earth, one question echoed in my heart: How many more innocent lives must be lost before peace comes to our land?
To those in authority, I ask: Do these lives matter? Do these grieving families matter? How many more communities must endure such pain before lasting protection is provided?
Yet even in our sorrow, we hold on to God’s promise:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
To every widow, orphan, and grieving family, may God comfort and strengthen you.
Tonight, many homes will be silent, many chairs empty, and many hearts broken.
May the souls of these twenty-two Christians rest in perfect peace. May their memory never be forgotten. And may God bring lasting peace to Plateau State and comfort to every family left behind.
Amen.
This is a Presidential Spokesperson. He just said on National TV that he doesn’t see the hunger Nigerians are complaining about thereby dismissing people’s sufferings. This is one of the incompetent people appointed by @officialABAT to advise him. @aonanuga1956 , Agbalagba niyin o, is this the legacy you want to leave behind? A legacy of lies and deceit.
Former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu said some strong spiritual forces didn't allow him work on this road in Obingwa but Alex Otti has just finished this road.
APC will not end well.
"Atiku Abubakar is calling Bola Tinubu a thief, and Bola Tinubu is also calling Atiku Abubakar a thief.
Both Atiku and Tinubu have not called Peter Obi a thief for once.
Thief knows thief."
— Dele Farotimi
Bayo Onanuga said he doesn’t see hunger anywhere.
I think that’s more dangerous. This govt are no longer in tune with the realities of Nigerians.
How can you help the people if you don’t see their suffering.
The message is clear @officialABAT
You have failed beyond comprehension
It’s either you support this moving train if you truly want a better Nigeria, or you get THA HELL OUT OF OUR WAY.
Peter Obi is the only candidate whose supporters are not backing him because of what they stand to gain personally. Not one person. Our support for him is a patriotic duty to see this country work.
The OK Movement joins His Excellency. Peter Obi and Millions of Nigerians in calling for the resignation of President Tinubu. Our nation cannot continue to endure the consequences of ineffective leadership and poor governance.
Nigeria deserves competent, accountable leadership.
Nigeria must be OK.
