Pastor Paul Enenche, Senior Pastor, Dunamis International Gospel Centre, DIGC, Worldwide, has said that robust political will remains the solution to end senseless killings across the country.

Pastor Enenche stated this while addressing newsmen on Wednesday, at Yelewata Town, Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, stressing that there was no single justification for the killings which claimed scores of lives on June 14.

According to the cleric, the country needs a strong political will to end the ongoing senseless killings across the country, especially the Yelewata Town attack.

Enenche added that the solution to the killings lies with the country’s leadership, adding that the government at all levels must develop a strong political will to end it.

“The solution to this type of issue is the will in the hearts of the leadership of our nation, both at the federal and state levels.

“Leadership that has the will to do the right thing and that has the heart of the people should put anything political aside and look at realities on the ground.

“And to value human lives above every other consideration and do what is right, in the interest of the people, in the interest of their consciences and, in fact, that one day everybody will stand before God to give account of their lives to God,” he said.

The senior pastor reiterated that the people would continue to trust God for the nation’s leadership to demonstrate compassion for her citizens, adding that that he was in the state to sympathise with his people, especially those in Yelewata Town, who were attacked and killed in their deep sleep.
