The Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC) has tasked the Buhari Government and security agencies to develop new operational tactics to end the country’s security challenges.

In a communiqué at the end of its 106th Annual Session, President of NBC, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, also urged the judiciary and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be truly independent in the ongoing political transition.
The communique was issued on Sunday in Abuja by the Chairman of the Resolution and Communique Committee, Prof. S. Akinlolu Fagbemi.

Ayokunle, who is also President of the Christians Association of Nigeria (CAN) observed with disappointment the unchecked attack of both Nigerians and foreigners due to terrorist and various criminal activities in the country.
“It is unfortunate that despite various promises by government on the release of Leah Sharibu and other people in the custody of Islamic terrorists, those promises are yet to be fulfilled.
“Premised on the foregoing, we implore the Federal Government to uphold the sanctity of lives and protection of properties of Nigerians,” the NBC President said.
Ayokunle also advised the government to be proactive in responding to security challenges and bringing the perpetrators and their sponsors to book.
He said that no effort must be spared in the fight against Boko Haram insurgency and their sponsors at all levels.
He further urged the government to equip and empower law enforcement agencies to enable them tackle Nigeria’s security challenges.
