Why Shy Away From Arresting Herdsmen With Guns ?- CAN Asked President Buhari

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has queried why President Muhammadu Buhari has not arrested herdsmen going about with guns and killing people in many communities.

The Christian association also knocked Buhari on what it described as his lopsidedness in appointments.

CAN President, Samson Ayokunle who gave the statement in Abuja on Friday also said that some northern governments are denying Christian churches of building places of worship.

According to him, “Recently I went to a village called Ancha in Bassa local government of Plateau state where 21 Christians were killed overnight by herdsmen.
My church in that village lost 20 members out of the 21 and we gave them mass burial. It was a gory sight to behold,” Ayokunle said.

“The most painful and baffling thing about it was that after that attack, they came to the same area again and killed another 24 people with none of them arrested by the enforcement agents.

What a complicity! Why are the herdsmen devastating communities without being arrested? Why are they not prosecuted? Why was the source of their ammunition not investigated? Why do they roam about with guns without being arrested?

“All these are begging for the quick attention of the president so that the people they are attacking also might not seek self-defence which may lead to the breakdown of law and order in the nation.”

“Many excuses are presently being given by state governments in the north to deny Christians the right of building their own places of worship,” he said.

“Recently, Jigawa state government pulled down some church structures under the guise that they did not have building permit.

The truth of the matter as obtained from the chairman of CAN in the state was that the churches had applied for permission to build for not less than a year or more without any response.

“Do the Christians in the north not have the right to build their houses of worship and serve God without fear or favour? If Nigeria is one country, this type of religious discrimination must come to an end.”

On appointments, Ayokunle said, “In the recently released statistics of appointments made by this administration so far, there was apparent lopsidedness because while some states have over thirty people appointed, others do not have more than three,” the said.

“How can people from such states with three have the sense of belonging to this nation and this administration?”
