The Government House in Jos, Plateau State is currently besieged with a crowd of members of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, protesting the continuous killings by armed bandits in the state and other parts of the country.
The protest tagged, ‘Plateau Peace Walk,” is led by the state CAN chairman, Rev. Polycarp Lubo; ECWA President, Rev Dr Stephen Baba Panya; COCIN President, Rev. Amos Mohzo; Bishop of Methodist Church, Jos; Rev. Nkechi Nwosu; President, Gideon and Funmi-ParaMallam Peace Foundation, Rev. Dr Gideon ParaMallam among other prominent Christian leaders in the state.
The protesting CAN members, starting the peace walk at the PRTVC Roundabout in Jos, headed to the Rayfield Government House to register their disapproval of the current security situation.
The CAN members are asking the state and Federal Government, including other stakeholder to take the bull by the horn by addressing the security challenges being faced with long lasting solution.
They decried what they described as the incessant killings in the mould of religious cleansing, saying that the unabated bloodshed should be stopped without further ado.
