CAN seeks probe of assassination attempt on Apostle Suleman

Describing the assassination attempt on General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman and killing of some of his aides as another move by evildoers to cause mayhem in Nigeria, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), yesterday, called for a full-scale investigation into the dastardly act and bring the perpetrators to book.

In a statement by its president, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, the national leadership of the association sympathised with the church and families of those who lost their relatives to the ugly incident.

“We urge the Federal Government and the security agencies to see the incident for what it is, a sign of the nation’s wobbling security system, and act quickly to address the situation,” the statement reads in part.

On the U.S. Embassy’s warning of a possible terror attack by bandits in Abuja, Okoh appealed to security operatives to wake up to the challenges of securing life and property, to check resort to self-help.

His words: “We must do whatever it takes to stop those plotting to eliminate innocent citizens anywhere in the country by brutal means, from achieving their ignoble objectives. They must not be allowed to continue their wickedness.”

“While CAN appeals to churches and by extension all Nigerians to be vigilant and alert security agencies to any suspicious movement in their vicinities, we will continue to pray for lasting peace and security in our country.”
