ABUJA — The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, yesterday warned that Nigeria’s democracy cannot thrive amid worsening insecurity, declaring that security was central to the country’s democratic survival.
Marking Black Sunday in honour of victims of violence across the country, CAN mourned those killed, displaced and traumatised by insecurity, demanding urgent action from government.
It also urged churches and faith-based institutions to strengthen security measures, and back efforts to establish community and state policing.
