Insecurity: PFN Demands ‘Ogbunigwe’ Outfit

It said while prayers were necessary, it had also gotten to the point where Christians should embrace self defense.

In a communique made available to journalists in Enugu after its meeting, the PFN described by the insecurity situation in Nigeria as worrisome, disturbing and unacceptable.

The communique signed by the Chairman of the PFN in the South-East, Dr. Cosmas Ilechukwu urged the governors in the zone to take proactive steps towards protecting the residents.

“PFN is calling for prayers and self-defence against insecurity; every Christian should join this crusade; every believer is a warrior.”

The Christian body called for “thorough re-organization of the security agencies in the country. The blood letting calls for concern from all government tiers, especially the spate of harassment by gunmen and insurgents all over the country.

“As such, the PFP is calling on the South-East Governors to double their efforts in protecting the citizens and their properties.”

Meanwhile the group did not spare some traditional rulers, accusing them of trading off community land for questionable purposes.

“They should be careful over the leasing of our land to foreigners. Most traditional rulers are compromising the future of their subjects in a quest for money and riches.

“We caution them to be mindful of the fact that posterity will speak even after us, a situation that will make our children sit on our graves in regret,” it warned.
