NKST Synod has made a cash donation to support the feeding of victims of Yelwata attacks, who are hopitalised as part of their Christian obligation and humanitarian outreach to the less privileged in distress.
The NKST Synod delegation, led by NKST Assistant General Secretary, Rev. Chris Annger, PhD, with Rev. Augustine A. Leva, PhD, member NKST Executive Committee, Rev. S. T. Igyor, CPAN, NKST Treasurer, Rev. Philemon M. Aba, NKST Media Director, and Rev. Terhemba Atia, Chairman High Level Classis, made the donation on Monday, June 23.
Dozens of local farmers were killed on June 13 night attack on Yelwata, a Benue community on Abuja-Keffi-Lafia-Makurdi Road, with the injured receiving treatment at a Teaching Hospital in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
Rev. Annger, who extended the message of hope from the NKST President, Rev. Amb. Dr. N. A. Adure, JP, said their visit was prompted by compassion for humanity and condoled the government and bereaved families while urging authorities to uphold their constitutional duty of protecting lives and property.
He, therefore, offered prayers for the quick recovery of the victims, peace in the land, and protection.
