SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Kafanchan has been the home for so many Nigerians from the North, South, East and even foreigners, especially Missionaries, but for about three decades peace has eluded the people due to continuous religious killings and conflicts between Hausa/Fulani-Muslim who are long time visitors to the area and the natives who are Christians. The purpose of the study is to investigate the causes and consequences of the crises between Christians and Muslims in Kafanchan, exploring the context of Christian leadership. For quite sometime the conflicts have been responsible for the loss of many lives, destruction of properties, businesses, worship centers and a major hindrance to socio-economic development of the area as well as the general well being of the people. The good relationship between these people groups that existed for quite some time has been erupted. The people today are living under an atmosphere of hate, intolerance, lack of trust, vengeance, acrimony, vendetta and are unforgiving.
