…CAN condoles with victims

From Fred Ezeh, Abuja

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condole with victims of the bombing by the Nigerian military that mistakenly targeted at civilians at the Tudun Biri Community, Igabi Local Government Area, Kaduna State.

CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, in a statement, yesterday, described the incident as an unfortunate event that resulted in a significant number of casualties, hence, he extended the thoughts and prayers of CAN to the affected families.

The CAN president reiterated the unyielding support for the Federal Government in its ongoing war against terrorism and insurgency in the country.

“It is imperative that these efforts extend beyond the affected regions and address emerging cases of terrorist activities and criminality in other parts of our nation. As an organisation, we believe in the constitutional responsibility of the government to ensure the security and welfare of the Nigerian citizenry.

“Therefore, we urge the government to prioritise the safety of its people and take necessary actions to curb terrorism nationwide.

“We appeal to all interest groups, political or religious, to refrain from capitalising on this tragic incident for personal gain. The focus should remain on supporting the affected communities and working together to prevent future occurrences.”

He said CAN is committed to fostering unity, peace, and the overall wellbeing of Nigerians.

“We stand with the affected victims and their families during this challenging time, and we pray for healing and comfort.”
