Following the attacks on innocent citizens across the nation, allegedly by Fulani herdsmen, the Christian Association Nigeria (CAN), Adamawa State chapter, has charged the federal government to improve security around Nigeria’s borders in order to control the entry of foreign herdsmen into the nation.

The state Chairman of CAN, Rev Stephen Dami Mamza, made the call on Wednesday, during a press briefing in Yola, the state capital.

Mamza said both the federal and state governments need to improve its security measures in order to better safeguard its citizens from the incessant killings by herdsmen and other forms of violence across the country.

HE said: “CAN wishes to state in unequivocal terms that violent elements are easily embolden and fueled by unguarded utterances.

“We called on the government to work around the Justice Adamu Hobong (rtd) administrative  committee of inquiry set up to unravel the immediate and remote courses of farmers/herdsmen crisis in the state.

“We equally call for the implementation of the previous committees reports by the state government.

“The government should not keep silent on these crises, and no decisive action was taken by concerned authorities to prevent it,”

Mamza also tasked the government to sniff out the assailants responsible for burning of four  churches in Sagal community in Maiha Local Government Area of the Adamawa and prosecute them.
