The Christian Association of Nigeria, on Thursday, said Christians in the northern part of the country must take proactive steps to defend themselves against persistent attacks. The declaration followed the Palm Sunday attack on Angwan Rukuba community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State. He said, “Self-defence allows you to carry a Dane gun, and then you have a licence to carry that. You can also carry very sharp objects that you keep to defend yourself in case of any attacks. Sura cited the need for improved deployment of local security initiatives such as Operation Rainbow in the state, noting that better coordination and presence could help prevent attacks.
