Nigerian Christian Association calls for security consciousness
Vatican News – The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) appeals for an increase in security measures to protect churches and church leaders in the wake of the kidnapping of Bishop Joseph Masin, its Nasarawa State Chapter chairman.
The General Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is urging churches to be more security conscious, and also ensure the safety of their leaders, Vatican News reported.
Joseph Daramola made the call in a statement issued on Friday following the recent kidnap and release of protestant Bishop, Joseph Masin, the Chairman of the Christian Association’s Nasarawa State Chapter.
