The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Northern Nigeria, under the leadership of Rev. Dr Yakubu Pam, strongly condemns the recent brutal killings in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In a statement issued by its chairman, Rev Yakubu Pam, and made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Tuesday, said, “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.
“Northern CAN stands in solidarity with the grieving families and the entire people of Bassa LGA in this moment of pain. 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.”
Rev. Dr. Yakubu Pam reiterates that the time has come for all stakeholders — traditional rulers, religious leaders, security operatives, and community-based organizations — to unite in purpose and work together to end the cycle of violence that has plagued Plateau State for far too long.
