Plateau CAN Urges Government to End Insecurity in State

During its maiden leadership retreat held from July 7 to 9, 2026, at Miango Rest Home, the Plateau State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) called on the government to take decisive action to end insecurity and protect lives and properties across the state. The retreat, themed "Strategizing for a Positive Plateau Future," brought together church leaders, women, youth leaders, and stakeholders from 17 local government areas.

They expressed concerns about the persistent insecurity despite government efforts, which leave communities under constant threat. The association urged security agencies to intensify efforts to safeguard lives and properties and encouraged communities to embrace community policing and establish vigilant groups.

Additionally, they demanded the prompt arrest and prosecution of perpetrators of attacks and condemned attempts to forcibly seize community land. The church pledged to continue advocating for peace and good governance in the state.
