BREAKING: Adamawa Churches Cancel New Year Crossover Services as CAN Issues DSS-Based Terror Attack Alert on Yola and Other Parts of State
Churches across Adamawa State have abruptly cancelled their New Year crossover services following an urgent security alert issued by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) over an alleged planned terrorist attack. The warning, based on what CAN described as credible intelligence from the Department of State Services (DSS), indicated that terrorists were planning to unleash violence in Yola and other parts of the state during crossover night.
In a statement signed by Rev. Dr. Joel Danjuma Manzo, CAN Chairman in Adamawa State, church leaders were directed to immediately suspend crossover services to safeguard lives. He urged pastors and congregations to treat the advisory with utmost seriousness, stressing that personal safety outweighs holding religious gatherings. The alert has heightened fear among residents, underscoring persistent security challenges in the state.
Reflecting the severity of the threat, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri also cancelled the state’s official New Year crossover celebration, an annual event that usually attracts large crowds and top Nigerian entertainers. The twin cancellations of both church and government events have sent shockwaves across Adamawa, casting a shadow over the transition into the new year as residents brace for a quiet and security-conscious crossover into 2026.
