The umbrella body for Christians in the country, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned the recent killing of about 22 people in Plateau

“The government shouldn’t be seen as being on the side of one religion against another. Criminals are criminals irrespective of their religious affiliations.

The association further called on the government to prosecute these criminals and stop what it termed as the supposed rehabilitation of terrorists embarked on by the federal government, while also commending Senator Ali Ndume on his stringent efforts towards ending this menace. “We charge the federal government to fix the security challenges or throw in the towel. The police and the military should be tasked to wake up to their responsibilities before these criminals turn the country into another Afghanistan. Let there be state police now; after all, some states like Kano have religious security outfits that are being used to enforce the law.

“Worried about the wellbeing of her citizens and for them not to be left stranded as well as become victims of circumstances, the state government through the commissioners for local government and chieftaincy affairs as well as tertiary education, science and technology, made arrangements for vehicles and security personnel to ensure safe evacuation and return of the students,” the statement said.

David revealed that all the buses sent to convey the students from their various schools safely brought them back to Abuja, adding that another round of evacuation will be made on Saturday to ensure that all natives and residents of Abuja are brought back home, pending the period of the security crisis in Jos is brought under control.

David described the present crisis in Jos as similar to a war situation, where innocent lives are taken without thinking twice, saying that was why the group decided to move into action and ensure a swift evacuation of the stranded students. Dole said the commander had in the last one week visited Sector 3 of the MNJTF in Monguno, Nigeria, Sector 1 in Moura, Cameroon and Sector 2 in Bagasola, Chad.

“He praised the troops-contributing countries of Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, Chad and Benin Republic for their support and belief in the MNJTF and promised to live up to expectations.
