CAN marks June 14 as Black Sunday due to rising insecurity

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has declared June 14 as Black Sunday. This is in reaction to the growing insecurity across Nigeria. The declaration comes as violent attacks, kidnappings, and other security issues increase in many communities.

In a statement, CAN shared its worries about the ongoing attacks on innocent people, especially in the northern parts of the country. The association urged the government to act quickly and firmly to tackle the security problems facing Nigeria.

CAN asked all Christians to wear black on that day. This is to show mourning for those who have suffered due to insecurity. They also called for prayers for peace and safety in Nigeria. The association highlighted the need for Nigerians to come together to fight against insecurity and ensure everyone’s safety.

The Black Sunday declaration is seen as a wake-up call for the government and security agencies. They need to step up their efforts to deal with the rising violence and bring peace back to affected communities.
