He described the incident as horrifying, recounting how the victims were slaughtered in their home while the breadwinner was away.
According to him, the killing of a mother and all her children is unprecedented in cruelty and shows that insecurity has reached a frightening level. “Our homes and roads are no longer safe,” he said.
The cleric blamed rising violence on poor upbringing and societal neglect, noting that the perpetrators are often locals, not outsiders.
