Bishop Kukah in his sermon asked Christians to keep their faith alive despite the trying moment.
He called on the government to adopt a holistic approach in fighting insecurity in the country rather than play the blame game.
While describing the security situation as a sign of a near failed state, he called for the sack of the service chiefs, stating tht they “have run out of fresh ideas to tackle the situation.”
The Catholic Bishops Conference at the burial also called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the nation’s security and protect its citizens from being killed endlessly.
