CAN PRESIDENT


CAN blames govt, security.

THE Christian Association of Nigeria has raised an alarm over the continued violence in Jos, the Plateau state capital, saying there seems to be a deliberate conspiracy and a hidden agenda by the government and security agencies in dealing with the crisis in Jos.

CAN secretary in the state, Reverend Joseph Hayab said for explosives to find their way into Jos despite the high security presence is suspect.

He also noted with concern that the Christmas eve explosion in the Plateau state capital, in which several people died, is coming so soon at a time when some politicians are allegedly desperate for power, saying there was need for a thorough investigation to unmask the perpetrators of the heinous crime.

The Christian Association of Nigeria is concerned as it has always stated on how lives of Nigerians will be taken for granted on baseless and unjustifiable reasons with impunity. It is on this premise that CAN is making the following observations.

There seems to be a deliberate conspiracy or a hidden agenda by both government and security agencies in dealing with the ethno-religious crises rocking Jos, Plateau State for almost ten years without a cogent action or resolution to put the menace at bay.

Security agencies must convince Nigerians that there is no security lapses or they are not shielding sacred cows as far as the Jos menace is concerned, the litany of killing in the State calls for worry and better explanation is needed for Nigerians to know and understand the whole puzzle.

Perpetrators of such a wicked act irrespective of religion, ethnicity, and political inclinations must be fished out and be made to face the law and be punished severely in accordance with the provisions of the law.

This will not only overcome such occurrences but will serve as a deterrent to prospective perpetrators and prevent any thoughts of a reprisal attack which we do not support”, the group stressed.

CAN also tasked security agencies on the need to as a matter of their constitutional responsibility overhaul all these anomalies and act swiftly for the stability of the country, and it’s preserving its sovereignty.

They should as a matter of urgency review its performances and intelligence, for all these calls for concern and signs that laxes of higher proportion indeed exist in the intelligence community whether deliberate or contrived.
