The gruesome murder of innocent travelers in Sokoto State by terrorists has been condemned by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
Rev John Joseph Hayab, Vice Chairman CAN 19 Northern States and Abuja, said in a statement on Thursday that the actions of the terrorist made it look like life is cheaper than a chicken.
The Christian body, therefore, “condemns the animalistic behaviour. CAN is concerned that these terrorists have taken their crime against Nigerians too far.”
CAN call on the Federal Government and Governors in the Northern States, especially in the Northwest region to take strong measures to stop this evil permanently.
“How can people be productive when they are living in perpetual fear of terrorists in their homes and everywhere they go?
Security of lives and property is a serious government business but what we are seeing today is how some of our leaders are playing politics with a serious matter that has almost destroyed the peace, joy, and hope of the citizens.”
“CAN is appealing to security agencies to stop the unhealthy competition amongst them and work together in unity for the common good of all Nigerians. Our security agencies have all it will take to defeat these terrorists.”
“CAN on its part will continue to offer our prayers, support, and play any role that will help to bring this evil to an end.”
“CAN Northern States commiserate with families of those who lost their lives and pray that God comforts them and repose the souls of the departed,” the statement added.
