ABUJA — The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, yesterday called on the Federal Government to declare a national security emergency as killings, kidnappings and terrorist attacks continue to spread across the country, warning that the nation is drifting deeper into crisis.

The call came as the apex Christian body said the worsening insecurity had reached a dangerous level, urging authorities to take urgent and decisive action to halt the bloodshed, rescue abducted citizens, protect vulnerable communities and restore public confidence.
