President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Reverend Samson Ayokunle has condemned the abduction of 180 pupils of Bethel Baptist College, Kaduna on Monday by gunmen, noting that President Muhammadu Buhari has lost grip on the leadership of Nigeria,xThe CAN president also panned Buhari’s inability to tame rising insecurity. Ayokunle lamented that kidnapping and abduction are now a thriving business in Nigeria and it is almost becoming synonymous with the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. Ayokunle observed that the situation in Kaduna has become quite terrible because Governor Nasir El-Rufai appears to be talking too much than acting and urged President Muhammadu Buhari to caution the governor. Ayokunle insisted Buhari must ensure a safe return and reunion of all the pupils to their families and others in captivity. “These are children of innocent Nigerians who left the confines of their parents in pursuit of education and a better tomorrow.”
