CAN in a press release issued by its state Chairman, Rev Dr. Isaiah Magaji Jirapye, however, observed that the Federal Government is not doing enough to win the fight against terrorism in the country, as each day, the terrorist keep on advancing.
To this end, CAN want the Federal government to immediately adopt workable strategies against any form of a terrorist organization in the country and stop their migration. CAN also lamented that several of the terrorists have migrated to Taraba State.
The Christian body called on the government at all levels to beef up security in the states against the activities of terrorists since ISWAP claimed the responsibility for the attack.
