Nigeria is no longer safe – CAN cries out over failed attempt to kill Ortom

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has cried out over the worsening security situation in Nigeria.

The Christian body said the ongoing happenings in Nigeria are clear indications that nobody is safe in Nigeria any more.

CAN was reacting to the assassination attempt on Benue Governor, Samuel Ortom.

“If a state governor is unsafe despite all the security operatives in his convoy, then who is safe?”, Joseph Daramola, CAN General Secretary quipped in a statement.

The scribe said it was worried about the collapse of the country’s security architecture and the failure of those in charge to rise up to the challenges.

“Is the government waiting till they successfully carry out their evil enterprise? What are these people turning the country into in this century? If murderous Fulani herdsmen are not Nigerians, as we are being told, why do our security agencies appear powerless?

“Are they holding superior ammunitions? Are they waiting till everyone resort to self-defence with the attendant consequences? The primary responsibility of any government is to protect the lives and property of the citizens.”

“If President Muhammadu Buhari wants his name to be written in gold, let him fix the security problems in this nation before his tenure is over”, the statement added.
