The Northern Chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has alerted Nigerians to expect hunger due to persistent attacks on rural farmers.
Its Chairman, Rev. Yakubu Pam, made the condemnation in Jos on Monday, saying that the situation could hamper the achievement of food security.
“Farmers are killed on the fields and this has forced them to abandon the farms; hunger is imminent in the country if nothing is done about this.”
Pam spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on the sideline of a regional delegates’ conference of the association taking place in the Plateau State capital.
He called for special protection for farmers, stressing that farmers were vulnerable to attacks because their farms were normally in forests.
