Tinubu should stop issuing press statements mourning innocent Nigerians: CAN President
The Christian Association of Nigeria has condemned the “horrific” killings in Angwan Rukuba on Palm Sunday, expressing deep concern over the Jos, Plateau attack.
”Nigerians are tired of mourning. Nigerians are tired of statements. Nigerians want to see action,” the CAN president, Daniel Okoh, said in a statement on Monday, asking President Bola Tinubu’s government and security agencies to arrest and prosecute perpetrators.
”We mourn; we grieve. But we must also speak the truth. How did we get here? How is it that people can no longer feel safe in their own homes? A nation cannot keep bleeding like this and expect to move forward. We owe the dead justice and the living protection,” the religious leader stated.
Meanwhile, Mr Okoh advised congregations to be extra vigilant ahead of the Easter festivities.
”Be prayerful, but also be vigilant. Take deliberate steps to protect yourselves and your congregations. Stay alert,” said the CAN president. “Work with security agencies and local authorities.”
