The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has declared Sunday, June 14, 2026, as a day to mourn victims of terrorist attacks across the country.
Tagged: “Black Sunday”, the association also said there would be national prayer from June 12 to 14.
CAN Chairman, His Eminence, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, made this known while speaking at the end of the National Church Denominational Leadership Summit 2026.
Okoh in his speech said prayers were not enough to tackle the security situation in the country, saying there’s the need for concrete actions to tackle the menace.
He went on to urge the Federal government to declare a state of emergency on insecurity to bring an end to it.
Okoh also called for swift commencement of state police and decentralisation of security apparatus to bring quick solutions to it, while calling for the unconditional release of kidnapped victims in the country.
