Main Page(The CAN Laments Incessant Killings, Bombing in Plateau)
Seriki Adinoyi in Jos 

The North Central leadership of the Christian Association of
Nigerian (CAN) in collaboration with heads of different dhurch
denominations and Christian organisations in Plateau State has
lamented the wanton killings and recent bombings that have
wreaked havoc in the state, urging the state Police
Commissioner, Mr. Nasiru Oki, to re-double his efforts towards
ending the menace.
Led by the Chairman, North-Central CAN, Rev Yakubu Pam,
the Christian leaders who paid a call on the state police
commissioner noted that statistics had revealed that over 264
deaths had been recorded in Riyom and Barkin Ladi Local
Government Areas after the 2015 elections.
CAN said it was burdened that the state which houses the
headquarters of most Christian bodies in Nigeria has become a
tinder bolt where every little provocation triggers violence,
adding that the attack and burning of two church buildings
after the recent bomb blast was uncalled for.
Lamenting that many citizens of the state had become
traumatised having been rendered homeless by the incessant
attacks and crises, CAN said it was within the office of the
police commissioner to urge him to use his position to bring
the havoc to an end.
While appreciating the Police for living up to their task in
preventing another explosion in ECWA last Sunday, CAN said
it was good that road blocks have been mounted again to
prevent further crimes in the state.
In his response, Oki said he was working assiduously with his
team of other security agencies and state government to reduce
crime in the state to the barest minimal. He charged CAN to
make necessary information at its disposal available to the
police to help it.
In the delegation were, Rev Gideon Para-Mallam of IFES,
Pastor Balarabe Usman of NIFES, Rev Obet Dasham of COCIN
and other representatives of churches in the state.
