CAN Condemns Plateau Killings
Share on WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on XTelegram

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has denounced the recent wave of brutal violence in Plateau State, particularly the tragedies of April 4, 2025, where lives of innocent citizens were cut short in Bokkos and Mangu local government areas of the state.

President of CAN, Archbishop Daniel Okoh in a statement on Sunday lamented that “senseless acts of violence represent not only a gross violation of human dignity and the sanctity of life, but also a serious threat to our national unity and peace.”

Okoh urged security agencies to take immediate and decisive action to bring the perpetrators to justice, and called on all levels of government to enhance their efforts to secure communities and prevent further bloodshed.

“The continued loss of lives in such tragic circumstances is simply unacceptable. We stand in solidarity with the bereaved families and the people of Plateau State.

“May God grant comfort to the grieving, healing to the wounded, and peace to every troubled heart. In times like these, we are reminded that true leadership is most vital when lives are at risk and communities are in distress,” he said.

The CAN president emphasised the need for political leaders to adopt the principles of servant leadership, prioritising the welfare of the populace over personal or political agendas.

“Amidst insecurity, economic hardship, and displacement, let their actions be marked by compassion, justice, and a steadfast commitment to national healing,” he stated.

He appealed to all Nigerians, irrespective of their ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation, to transcend divisions and embrace their shared identity as one people under God.

“In the same spirit, we must rise above division and embrace our shared identity as one people under God,” he said.

Further reflecting on the significance of Palm Sunday as Christians worldwide prepare to commemorate the beginning of Holy Week, Okoh urged Nigerians to contemplate the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, whose message of peace, humility, and sacrificial love remains profoundly relevant today.

“Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, a powerful symbol of peace, humility, and hope that offers enduring lessons for our nation.

“Just as the diverse crowds in Jerusalem were united in hope, so too must we come together with a common purpose: to heal our land and build a future grounded in mutual respect, compassion, and solidarity,” he said.

According to Okoh, Palm Sunday serves as a reminder that there is always hope, even in challenging times, and that the journey toward national renewal begins with each Nigerian.

“Let us be mindful of our words and actions, choosing to be peacemakers in our homes, communities, and workplaces.

“As we lift our palm branches today, let them serve not only as symbols of worship but as signs of our collective resolve to work for a peaceful and united Nigeria. May God grant us wisdom, courage, and grace in these trying times,” Okoh said.
