Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau has expressed concern over the killing of innocent citizens in Yalwa Zangam community of the locality.<\/p>\n

The association described the killing as barbaric and condemnable, saying that Nigerians should at all spheres of life have a rethink on the way forward for the country.<\/p>\n

A statement jointly issued in Jos by the Chairman of the association in the area, Rev. Fr. Polycarp Gana and Secretary, Rev. Ezekiel Noam explained that gunmen stormed the community on Tuesday night, killed, injured and destroyed many houses at will.<\/p>\n

The clerics enjoined religious leaders to be mindful of their utterances and desist from all forms of provocative comments capable of causing violence among the people.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, \u201cWe reiterate and condemn aggressively these killings and attacks on innocent citizens of Yalwa Zangam community in their homes. This is sad, unfortunate, and worrisome.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement called on preachers in the state to desist from making inciting statements but preach peace, understanding, and solidarity among the people.<\/p>\n

It noted that religious leaders must stop making provocative statements at this time make efforts as leaders to assuage frayed nerves by words from the holy books which should build, rather than further tear the people apart.<\/p>\n

CAN praised security agencies for the effort they are making toward ensuring sustainable peace in the state and urged them to do more.<\/p>\n

The association, however, condoled with families who lost their beloved ones and security personnel who lost their lives in the recent attacks in the state.<\/p>\n

Plateau attack: Govt declares dusk to dawn curfew in three LGAs<\/p>\n

It called for the sincerity of purpose on the part of the government in terms of entrenching lasting peace in the state.<\/p>\n

The association enjoined Christians to be watchful and prayerful and advised them to defend themselves during unprovoked attacks.<\/p>\n

It also advised citizens to strengthen surveillance efforts in communities and report suspicious movements to security agencies for prompt response, if any.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
