BREAKING NEWS: Northern CAN Condemns Deadly Attacks In Kwara, Borno, Kebbi
The Northern chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has condemned the renewed wave of insecurity across the country following separate attacks in Kwara, Borno and Kebbi States.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Chairman of Northern CAN, Rev. Joseph John Hayab, described the incidents as painful reminders of the worsening security challenges confronting citizens and security personnel.
He lamented the attack on a Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, in Kwara State, where worshippers were killed and several abducted, the killing of a senior military officer, a General, by ISWAP terrorists in Borno State, and the abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi State.
Rev. Hayab said the association stands in strong solidarity with affected families and communities, noting that the trauma of losing loved ones or having children in captivity is unbearable.
He prayed for the comfort of the bereaved, healing for the injured and the safe return of all abducted persons.
While commending the Nigerian Armed Forces for their sacrifices, Hayab warned that the resurgence of terror attacks appears to be a calculated attempt to destabilise the country. He urged troops not to allow the incidents to weaken their morale.
He also charged the new service chiefs to intensify operations and demonstrate renewed commitment to defeating insurgents, bandits and other criminal networks troubling the nation.
Hayab appealed to the Federal Government to step up efforts to secure schools, worship centres and other vulnerable areas, stressing that Nigerians expect decisive action to ensure perpetrators of these crimes are brought to justice.
Describing the attacks as unacceptable acts of evil, Northern CAN called for stronger collaboration between security agencies, state governments and local communities to avert further tragedies.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
