Arrest perpetrators of Palm Sunday killings in Jos—CAN tells security agencies

Date:

Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)has called for the arrest if those responsible for the Palm Sunday atrocity in Jos.

CAN in a statement issued on Monday by Archbishop Daniel Okoh, its President, said the perpetrators must be found, arrested and made to face justice; swiftly and decisively. “Anything less will only deepen the sense that life in our country is no longer protected.

“The use of fake or imitation military uniforms by these attackers is particularly alarming. It strikes at the very heart of public trust and must be thoroughly investigated. Our security institutions must not only respond; they must stay ahead of these threats.

“We acknowledge the efforts of the Plateau State Government so far. But let it be said clearly: temporary measures are not enough. The people of Plateau, and indeed all Nigerians, deserve lasting security, not periodic reassurance.

“To our Christian faithful across the nation, I speak to you as we walk through this solemn Holy Week. Be prayerful, but also be vigilant. As you prepare for Good Friday solemnities and the Stations of the Cross (in some denominations), and as churches gather for Easter Eve vigils and night services, take deliberate steps to protect yourselves and your congregations. Stay alert. Work with security agencies and local authorities. Look out for one another.
