Bishop Ndagoso appealed to people of Kaduna State to shun rumour mongering and acts fuelling crisis in the state.
Ndagoso said this in a statement in Kaduna while reacting to recent violence in the state.
He urged residents to learn to accommodate each other and settle their differences amicably.
“As members of one nation, we must seek ways of understanding, of building bridges to one another based on a solid foundation of truth.
“Rumour mongering is responsible for the crisis and it is causing more deaths than guns in Kaduna.
“I am not oblivious of the pain that has been caused by the loss of loved ones, both Christian and Muslim.
“At the same time, I ask that all reflect on the reality that violence only begets more violence. This suffering has gone on for too long and we beg that it be stopped for the common good,” he said.
He thanked the state government and security agents for their quick intervention in bringing the situation under control.
DAILY POST reports that Kaduna State Government on Sunday imposed a 24-hour curfew in Kaduna following violent clashes in parts of the state.
The violence erupted four days after 55 people were killed in Kasuwan Magani, Kajuru Local Government Area of the state.
