Why We Will Not Stop Talking About Persecution Of Christians – CAN

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has said that it will not stop talking about marginalization and persecution of Christians in the country until the Muhammadu Buhari administration reverses the kid treatment of terrorists and those persecuting Christians.

While observing that Christians were by far bearing thoe brunt of the insurgencies, CAN in a statement observed that the administration has failed to expose those behind the banditry that has been targeted against Christians.

CAN in the statement issued by its national president, Dr. Supo Ayokunle by his media assistant, Pastor Bayo Oladeji, the umbrella body for Christian said:

“Calling on the Federal government to free our members from their captors who claim to be attacking us for religious sake is the right thing to do in this situation we have found ourselves.

“These criminals are targeting the predominant Christian communities, killing, maiming and abducting the people with or without any resistance from the security agencies is unprecedented.

“If the government has not been treating those criminals with kid gloves, let them publish names of their kingpins,  of the terrorists, herdsmen killers and bandits in their custody and those who are being prosecuted in the court of law for the world to see.

“How many Christians are heading any of the security agencies in the country? We are praying for the government on daily basis but that does not mean where the government is failing we should keep quiet.

“Since Leah Sharibu and other Chibok girls have been crying for help, there is nothing on ground to show that the government has been sensitive to their plight.

“The only reason why they are in captivity is because they are Christians, no more, no less. That the government is condemning the terror attacks is not the same thing as stopping the attacks and arresting the criminals responsible or are they telling us they are spirits? Telling us to keep quiet is adding salt to our injuries.

“Last week, it was Adamawa and on Monday,  this week it was Kaduna State where 41 people were kidnapped! As long as the unpleasant situations in the country remain the same the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria will not keep quiet since that is the only thing we can do aside from praying for the captives.”
