Insecurity: CAN chair decries ‘deliberate destruction’ of lives, property
The chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria in Enugu State, Emmanuel Edeh, has expressed worry over the “deliberate destruction” of lives and property in the country.
“It is regrettable that thousands of Nigerians are being killed daily in different parts of the country. It is even more disturbing that the perpetrators could not be arrested and prosecuted,” Mr Edeh said in an interview Monday.
According to him, the fact that the perpetrators are still at large and not rounded up has further emboldened them.
The clergyman admonished the government at all levels to realise that its primary constitutional responsibility is to protect the lives and property of the citizens.
“And any government that cannot discharge that responsibility effectively has failed,” Mr Edeh said.
