The Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 Northern States and Abuja strongly condemns the recent barbaric deaths in Plateau State’s Bassa Local Government Area.
Northern CAN, led by Rev. Yakubu Pam, issued a statement in Kaduna on Tuesday expressing profound sorrow and indignation over the senseless and savage atrocities that have taken the lives of peaceful and innocent individuals.
“We are deeply saddened and outraged by the senseless and barbaric attacks that have claimed the lives of innocent and peace-loving citizens.
These repeated acts of violence are not only a violation of human dignity and the sanctity of life, but they are also a direct threat to the peace and unity of our state and the nation at large,” Pam said.
Northern CAN called on security agencies to act swiftly and decisively to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
“We call on security agencies to act swiftly and decisively to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice. We also urge the government at all levels to take proactive steps to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further loss of lives,” he said.
Pam stressed the need for stakeholders, including traditional rulers, religious leaders, security operatives, and community-based organisations, to unite in purpose and work together to end the cycle of violence that has plagued Plateau State for far too long.
“The time has come for all stakeholders to unite in purpose and work together to end the cycle of violence that has plagued Plateau State for far too long,” he said.
He said Northern CAN stands in solidarity with the grieving families and the entire people of Bassa LGA in this moment of pain.
“We pray for peace, healing, and justice. Plateau must not bleed again,” Pam said.
