The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Benue State chapter, has declared that it had lost faith in the leadership of the country.
The CAN Chairman in the state, Rev. Akpen Leva, who stated this on Sunday when he led Christians in a match around Makurdi to protest the killings in Nigeria, appealed to the international community to intervene in the spate of killings in the country.
According to him, the bloodshed in the country has become a source of worry for every concerned Nigerian.
He lamented that the country was recording more mass burials than ceremonies, warning that Nigeria was on a precipice. Leva said:
“Enough is enough, the bloodshed has become too much. We are in a country where the life of a cow is more important than that of human.
“What a nation, we now live in fear. Nigerians are killed and their killers walk around freely without the authorities arresting them, our hearts bleed and we cannot continue like this.
“Our leaders must be alive to their responsibilities and save our country the bloodshed and killings of Christians which is perpetrated on a daily basis.
“We are also appealing to the international community to step into the Nigerian situation and stop the ceaseless killings of Christians before we are totally wiped out.”
KanyiDaily had also reported that the General overseer of the Redeemed Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye led his church members to protest against the spate of insecurity in Nigeria.
In series of videos and photos shared online, the pastor is seen carrying a placard leading the members of the church in a peaceful protest tagged ‘prayer walk’.
