The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently declare total war against criminals terrorising Benue, Borno and other parts of the country.

In a statement issued by its Secretary General, Elder Sunday Oibe, over the incessant killings and abductions the Christian body said President Tinubu should direct security agencies to neutralise the threat within a clear and enforceable timeframe.

CAN stressed that in case the situation is beyond the capacity of Nigeria’s security forces, the government should seek international assistance to halt the killings and abductions.

It further called on the government and security agencies to marshal all necessary resources and resolve to eradicate these threats without delay.

The body however, noted that the sovereignty of the nation and the safety of its citizens depend on a robust and unwavering response from all security apparatus.

“The Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) expresses deep concern over the deteriorating security situation across the country, especially the persistent killings and abductions in Benue and Borno states.

“The violent activities perpetrated by criminal herdsmen and Boko Haram terrorists have made life increasingly unbearable for innocent citizens.

“On Saturday, June 14, we received distressing reports of attacks by suspected herdsmen in Yelewata and Daudu communities in Guma local government area of Benue state. Available information, indicated that over 100 people were feared dead in the attack by suspected herdsmen.”

CAN noted that, “These attacks occurred less than 48 hours after the tragic killings of 25 people in Mtswenem and Akondotyough Bawa communities, in Makurdi LGA, resulting in massive loss of lives and widespread displacement of residents.

“Reports indicate that many internally displaced persons (IDPs) and farmers were killed, with some reportedly burnt alive in makeshift shelters.”

CAN further cited the last week killing of a man and abduction of Rev. Fr. Daniel Afina, a Catholic priest and project coordinator of a Christian NGO, along with nine others who were abducted by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists on the Gwoza-Limankara Road in Borno State.

It lamented that the security situation appeared to be worsening at a time when it was hoped that the criminal elements had been contained.

“We urgently call on the federal government to take decisive and comprehensive action to stop the killings and restore peace and security.

“President Bola Tinubu’s administration has made initial progress in curbing these violent activities; however, these gains must be sustained and expanded,” CAN said.
