Speaking during a recent forum, he noted that many of those involved in violent attacks in parts of the country share the same faith as their victims, stressing that the issue extends beyond a Christian–Muslim divide.

He urged community and faith leaders to promote peace and work collectively to address the underlying causes of violence, including poverty, injustice, and political manipulation.
