The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Monday charged residents of Southern Kaduna to rise up and protect themselves against bandits.
The CAN Chairman in the state, Rev. John Hayab, who made the call in a statement in Kaduna, stressed that the government has been unable to fulfill its promise of protecting the lives and property of people from bandits in the area.
He was reacting to Sunday’s killing of 15 persons by bandits at Agban Kagoro, Kaura local government area of the state.
The statement read: “The Christian Association of Nigeria Kaduna State Chapter is sad and grieving following the continued killings, kidnappings, banditry, and the unimaginable evil going on in our state unabated without any substantial action by the Government and security forces
