Ekiti Church Attack: CAN Expresses Shock, Demands Decisive Action
CAN said the attack reflects a worsening security crisis and urged authorities to rescue the abducted worshippers and prosecute those responsible.
- The Christian Association of Nigeria , led by Archbishop Daniel Okoh, condemned an attack on an open-air crusade in Eda Oniyo Ekiti, Ekiti State, where gunmen killed a pastor and abducted several worshippers.
- This violence follows a pattern of recent attacks; gunmen recently struck Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State, abducting residents, clergy, and their families in similar raids.
- Okoh described the incident as a "brutal assault on our shared humanity," urging the government to strengthen security in vulnerable communities and ensure the safe rescue of abducted victims.
- CAN demanded authorities act transparently to apprehend perpetrators, emphasizing that Nigeria must not normalize the killing of worshippers or abduction of innocent citizens in places of refuge.
- These repeated incidents underscore a "deepening security crisis," with leaders warning that no place of worship should become a "hunting ground for criminals" without proactive intelligence measures.
