CAN Condemns Bombing, Blames Security Lapses
The National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has condemned in its entirety, Christmas day bombings in some northern parts of the country.
Oritsejafor, in an interview with newsmen in Warrri, Delta, said that he felt very bad at the Boko Haram’s action.
While condemning it, Oritsejafor said “I believe that if man does not catch up with them, God will catch up with them and their sponsors.”
He attributed the menace of the sect to security lapses, which he said, the country was bedeviled by.
“All our security agencies have been polarised along religion. There are people within the security agencies that are promoting their religion instead of protecting Nigeria,” Oritsejaor said.
He said that there was an urgent need for government to upgrade the security equipment with sophisticated weapons that would match or surpass the ones in the custody of criminals.
Oritsejafor said that the country lacked proper border security, adding that there was indadequate manpower, surveillance equipment and helicopters.
“Many members of the public are also afraid to give out information, government must show that it can protect lives.
“There are also many who will not give out information because they feel they are protecting their religion. That is also a serious problem,” Oritsejafor said.
He, however, said that no matter the level of security equipment in the country, there was need for dedicated and efficient security agents to be able to combat crime.
Oritsejafor commiserated with the bereaved and urged them to continue to keep the Christian faith and not to give up.
“God is still God and he is in control.
“I believe it is a question of time, we will conquer just as we have conquered many obstacles, we are not second class citizens. God will prove it and people will know,” he said.
