Stop traumatizing Nigerians, go after terrorists - CAN reacts to DSS security alert

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on the Department of State Services (DSS) to desist from spreading fear and panic in the country and go after the terrorists.

The Chairman of the Kaduna Chapter of CAN, Rev’d Joseph John Hayab said this following the security alert issued by the DSS that some terrorists are planning an attack on religious and fun places during the Eid Kabir celebrations.

According to him, instead of issuing alerts, the security agency shoulfd go after the criminals, as Nigerians are already traumatised and should not be further placed on another trauma.


Hayab said;

“This alert like many in the past has always come when festivities are around the corner. We hope and pray it is not diversionary. The DSS as a secret agent should go after the terrorists or criminals before they will execute their plans. Nigerians are already traumatised and should not be further placed on another trauma. Thank God we have a new government and new security chiefs have just been appointed except that of the DSS.

Nigerians will love to see proactive measures, not reactive statements. Everybody, therefore, needs to be on alert so that when you see something say something.

After all, security is everybody’s business, everyone should join hands to free our country from all security challenges through strategic action, not propaganda,” he said.
