The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has designated Sunday, June 14, 2026, as a nationwide “Black Sunday” in honour of victims of terrorist attacks and other forms of violence across the country.
The association also announced a three-day national prayer
programme scheduled to run from June 12 to June 14.
Speaking after the National Church Denominational Leadership
Summit 2026, CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, stressed that prayers alone
would not resolve Nigeria’s worsening security challenges.
He said urgent and practical measures are needed to address
the crisis and restore safety across the nation.
Okoh called on the Federal Government to declare a state of
emergency on insecurity, describing the situation as critical and requiring
immediate intervention.
He also advocated the speedy establishment of state police
and the decentralisation of the country’s security architecture to enable
faster and more effective responses to threats.
The CAN president further demanded the unconditional release
of all kidnapped victims and urged authorities to ensure justice for those
affected by insecurity.
