The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) condemned the violence in Benue State, and called for the declaration of a state of emergency in the worst-hit areas.

In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, urged the Federal Government to act decisively to end the killings and demanded the immediate deployment of reinforced security personnel to protect vulnerable communities.

“For too long, the people of Benue have been subjected to recurrent assaults, often blamed on armed groups, without meaningful intervention or justice,” Okoh said. 

He lamented that the persistent failure to safeguard citizens and hold perpetrators accountable has emboldened attackers and prolonged the cycle of violence.

“These senseless killings have inflicted immeasurable pain on families, devastated communities, and further entrenched the insecurity threatening our nation. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved and pray for the peaceful repose of the departed souls,” he said.

The CAN President called for a thorough, transparent investigation into the attacks and the swift prosecution of those responsible.

 He emphasised that justice must prevail to break the impunity fueling the atrocities and urged the international community to support efforts to restore peace and rebuild trust in Benue State.

Archbishop Okoh reaffirmed CAN’s commitment to defending the sanctity of life and advocating for the protection and dignity of all Nigerians.
