The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Northern Nigeria, has strongly condemned the recent brutal killings in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, describing the attacks as “senseless and barbaric”. In a statement, Chairman of Northern CAN, Rev. Dr. Yakubu Pam, expressed deep sadness and outrage over the loss of innocent lives. Rev. Dr. Yakubu Pam stated that the repeated acts of violence are a violation of human dignity and the sanctity of life, and a direct threat to the peace and unity of the state and nation. “We are deeply saddened and outraged by the senseless and barbaric attacks that have claimed the lives of innocent and peace-loving citizens,” Pam said. The association called on security agencies to act swiftly and decisively to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice. Pam urged the government at all levels to take proactive steps to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further loss of lives. “Plateau must not bleed again,” he emphasized. Pam reiterated that the time has come for all stakeholders to unite in purpose and work together to end the cycle of violence that has plagued Plateau State for far too long. “We pray for peace, healing, and justice,” he added. This sentiment is shared by Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, who described the recurring attacks as genocide, rejecting the characterization of the violence as a herder-farmer conflict.
