Story number 3 for 19 Jun 2000

HCJB is reporting that there are officials who believe that splitting the Nigerian state of Kaduna into separate states for Christians and Muslims would resolve some religious differences. The idea has gotten new support in the wake of bloody riots in February and May. However, there are some authorities who oppose splitting the state on religious grounds, citing the heterogeneous makeup of Nigeria. Please continue to pray for Christians living and working in the area.
