CAN declares 3-day fast in Benue, prayers in wake of attack on Ortom’s convoy
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Benue State will begin three days of fast and prayers on Tuesday to seek divine intervention into insecurity in the state.
State CAN chairman, Rev. Akpen Leva, said at a news conference in Makurdi on Monday, that the situation would have worsened if not the relentless prayers of Christians across the state.
“I want to call on the Benue Christians to intensify prayers. This is the time to prayer ceaselessly and seek divine intervention. God has never disappointed us in any of our prayers.
“We have resolved as a body to declare three days of fasting and prayer. The fasting and prayer session will commence on Tuesday. The grand finale of the programme will hold on Thursday, March 25, 2021,” he said.
Leva who condemned the armed attack on Governor Samuel Ortom on Saturday worried that the country was fast becoming a lawless state.
The CAN chairman added, “if a governor of a state would be attacked for no genuine reason, it then means that Nigeria is fast becoming a lawless state.”
