Churches offered special prayers for peace, stability and unity in the country and urged the faithful to cooperate with security agents to restore law and order in the state however, observed that most churches recorded low turnout.
Pastor Edward Isah of the Covenant Church admonished Christians to “watch, pray and not to take law into their hands’’.
Isah urged members to continue to pray for peace in the state and for God to prevail over the attacks on churches.

Feron told NAN that God created Muslims and Christians in Kaduna State to live together as a people with different faith.
“We, therefore, appreciate God and live with one another irrespective of our religious differences,’’ he said.
