By Dayo Johnson Akure

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the South-West has asked the Federal Government to immediately declare a state of emergency on security to tackle kidnappings, banditry, and violent crimes nationwide.

Chairman of the association in the region, Bishop, Barnabas Tunde Akin-Akinsanya, said abductions and attacks in Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo, and Lagos now threaten national peace, economic development, and social stability.
