Apostle Grace Edith, renowned as the ‘Woman of Great Grace’ and convener of the National Prayer Conference, joined the chorus of voices condemning the heinous massacre perpetrated by pastoralists on December 25th, 2023, in Plateau State, Nigeria. Expressing profound dismay, Apostle Grace Edith lamented the tragic event that claimed the lives of over a hundred individuals in a Christian community during the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
“It is profoundly disheartening that in this modern era, such senseless killings could transpire. As Christians worldwide celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ, an appalling act of violence resulted in the merciless slaughter of over 100 innocent lives in what should have been a safe, Christian community,” remarked Apostle Grace Edith in her conversation with the media.
Calling for swift and decisive government action, she urged, “We earnestly pray for the government to prioritize and intensify efforts in securing lives and properties. These recurrent atrocities demand an immediate halt. Such reprehensible acts tarnish our nation’s image and contradict the security policies outlined by this administration.”
In a call for unity and support, Apostle Grace Edith implored fellow Nigerians to rally behind the affected community, providing both tangible and emotional assistance. “It’s crucial for us to stand in solidarity with the affected community, offering support in their recovery from this despicable act of cowardice and terrorism. Let’s extend a helping hand, both physically and emotionally, and join in prayers for their strength during this challenging time.”
