The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in 19 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Joseph John Hayab, has expressed shock over the handling of a reported mass kidnapping at a church in Kaduna State.
Hayab criticised the Nigerian police and other security agencies for initially denying that the incident took place, despite widespread reports indicating that multiple worshippers were abducted during the attack.
“The initial denial of such a serious incident is deeply troubling,” Hayab said, highlighting the need for transparency and swift action in addressing attacks on religious communities.
The CAN leader called on authorities to intensify efforts to secure the safety of worshippers and ensure the prompt rescue of those affected.
