The Christian Association of
Nigeria, CAN, has advised the Federal Government to wholeheartedly admit
failure and take necessary steps to fix the security challenges bedeviling the
nation.
CAN believed that the reluctance
of the government to exercise the political will to arrest and bring to justice
those behind banditry and terrorism in the country was causing a lot of
killings, kidnapping, cattle rustling and other social vices on innocent
citizens in the country.
Speaking through its General
Secretary, Joseph Daramola, in a statement, he said, “The leadership of the
Christian Association of Nigeria condemns the killing of about 22 people in
Plateau State and calls on the President Muhammadu Buhari and his government to
stop paying lip service to the unending killings in the country.”
CAN strongly believed that
stopping killing of the innocent Nigerians by criminals cannot be done by mere
issuing press statements and holding periodical meetings with the security
chiefs by the president.
The Christian body noted that
until the government showed the political will by arresting and bringing the
culprits to book, the shedding of innocent blood will not cease.
CAN said, “We charge the Federal
Government to fix the security challenges or throw in the towel. The police and
the military should be tasked to wake up to their responsibilities before these
criminals turn the country into another Afghanistan.”
