\"CAN<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria led by President Muhammadu Buhari to set up a committee to dialogue with the representatives of the #EndSARS protesters to douse tension in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAN made the call in a statement issued on Monday by its President, Samson Ayokunle<\/a>, who commended the #EndSARS protesters and youths advocating against police brutality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body which called on the military and the police to exercise restraint to avoid deaths and severe injuries also acknowledge the resilience of youths and \u201cpatriotic agitation in a peaceful manner despite the pockets of attack by the police or hired thugs in some instances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the statement, the Christian religious organization told Buhari to send a bill to the National Assembly for the compensation of all victims of the Police brutality and extrajudicial killings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSemi-literates should never be recruited into the Police again. Well-educated, morally and mentally sound people are good enough to wear police uniforms in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll tiers of the government should stop paying lip service to the welfare of the people and immediately begin welfare programmes that will bring succor to the suffering masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cState governors and the FCT Minister should set up a committee to dialogue with the representatives of the protesters to douse tension in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Inspector General of Police should suspend the implementation of the establishment of SWAT<\/a>. All officers who were members of SARS should be screened to unmask the rotten eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe government should wake up now and provide a future for our youths through provision of gainful employment or enabling environment for their employment,\u201d the statement issued by Ayokunle concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
