This was in reaction to another attack in the state where 13 people were killed during a burial ceremony at Tse Umenger in Mbadwem Council Ward and Mbakpaase in Saghev in Guma Local Government Area.
THEWILL recalls that on Tuesday, 19 people, including two priests, were killed in two attacks in Ukor Mbalon Gwer Local Government Area.
CAN President Olasupo Ayokunle, in a statement by his spokesman, Adebayo Oladeji, said Sunday has been declared a National Day of Protest against unending killings in the country.
“The day is to be dedicated to pray for the freedom and liberty of Leah Sharibu, the remaining Chibok girls and others still in captivity of the Boko Haram terrorists,” the statement read.
“We are already at a breaking point and a state of anomie is almost here.
“The protest should be peaceful and done within premises of churches.
“Christians are to carry placards with inscriptions meant to address issues about sustained killings, attacks and destruction of their property.
“The inscriptions on placards could read, ‘Enough of bloodshed in Nigeria’, ‘Enough of unlawful killings in the country’, ‘FG, Release Leah Sharibu from the bondage’, ‘FG, Stop Herdsmen Killings’, ‘CAN rejects FG’s poor handling of insecurity’, etc.
“Government should be called upon to perform their constitutional responsibility of protecting citizens now. No excuse should be given for this wicked act again and perpetrators must be brought to book now.”
