A Kaduna-based Christian cleric, Pastor Yohanna Buru, on Tuesday led members of his church to celebrate Eid-el-Maulud with Muslims in Kaduna.

Buru said the gesture was aimed at promoting religious tolerance, peaceful coexistence, mutual respect and stronger relationships between Christians and Muslims.

The cleric, General Overseer of Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry, is a recipient of the United Nations World Interfaith Harmony Week recognition by King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Buru and members of his church joined thousands of Muslims at Murtala Mohammed Square, Kaduna, for the commemoration.
