A statement on Monday by spokesman, Bayo Oladeji wondered how the attackers successfully struck without resistance.
Oladeji said no fewer than 10 clerics have been kidnapped in 2022 alone and none was rescued by the security operatives.
“In two instances, the victims were killed by their captors unfortunately! This is no more a country one can be proud of.
“No reasonable government can continue to leave the citizens in a terrible state of insecurity. This situation is not good for our nation at all.”
CAN told the Buhari administration to redeem its image of widespread insecurity by bringing sanity to this situation before leaving office.
CAN also used the opportunity to appeal to the abductors to release the clerics unhurt, adding that they are not responsible for their agitations and demands.
