The Plateau State chapter, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has called on President Bola Ahmad Tinubu, to direct for the relocation of all service chiefs to the trouble areas of Bokkos, Mangu and Barkin Ladi LGAs, of Plateau State.

The call was made by the CAN chapter chairman, Rev. Fr. Polycarp Lubo, at a press briefing, held at the Secretariat of NUJ, Tuesday, in Jos.

"We condemned the killings in total. Where more than 150 people have been killed and the killing is still going on as a spilled over from the herders/farmers clashes.

"As Christian Association of Nigeria, we are not really happy and we are so sad because it is festive season..." he said.

According to him, the Fulani could not have been responsible, but it was the barbaric act of highly sponsored assassins.

Rev. Lubo, while commending the security personnel, particularly General Ali, the commander of Operation Safe Haven, and his personnel, adding that they were overwhelmed, hence the need for re-enforcement of more security personnel.

"We still appeal to Mr. President to use his veto power to talk to the security and give them matching order to to back to... Bokkos, Mangu and Barkin Ladi, to concentrate because that is where the problems are...," he urged.
