CAN, TARABA STATE CHAPTER CONDEMNS THE ABDUCTION OF A CLERGYMAN AND FAMILY BY BANDITS IN TARABA

THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA CAN TARABA STATE CHAPTER CONDEMNS THE ABDUCTION OF A CLERGYMAN AND FAMILY BY BANDITS IN TARABA

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN Taraba state chapter is saddened with the nefarious activities of kidnapers which is targeted on Christian Clergymen and their families. It would be recalled that recently kidnapers stormed the resident of a clergy with ECWA church in Mile six, Jalingo and many other clerics. The abductors made it clear that the Clergy was their target. Again this Sunday another Clergy with the CRC-N was abducted in his station at Tudun Haske, a village in Donga Local Government area of Taraba State alongside his family members and others.

CAN condemned this nefarious act and call on government to make security to life and properties of Christian clerics a top priority as now they are the soft target of the kidnapers.

CAN is worried that local Communities and villages are not longer safe as they are attacked frequently by these bad elements without caution and regard to humanity.

This must not be allowed to continue to happen, government should priotize the security of the local communities across the state.

Security presence should be felt at the local communities. The people should support security agencies with intelligence that will uncover the hide out of the criminals in their midst.

The need for prayers for the mercy of God upon the land cannot be overemphasized. Believers should raise family altars and cry to God for permanent solution to banditry and kidnapping in our vicinity.

Rev Dr Isaiah Magaji Jirapye

Chairman CAN Taraba State.
