Hello Friends!
The Christian Association of Nigerian has asked the Federal Government to use all resources available to it to put an end to terrorism in the country.
CAN says it is its final warning to the government.
President of the association, Pastor Ayo Oritsejeafor, at a press conference on Wednesday said the association would no longer be able to guarantee the cooperation of restraining restive and aggrieved Nigerians if government failed to take urgent action to address the menace.
Oritsejeafor observed that Christians were the targets of series of bombings in the country, he however appealed to Nigerians to remain calm in the face of the security challenges.
He said, “As President of the Christian Association of Nigerian my first call to all peace loving Nigerians is remain calm in the face of all the insecurity challenges as I am aware that the greater part of the overall design is to instill fear in the populace.
“I will now make final call to Nigerian Government to use all resources available to it to clearly define and neutralise the problem as other nations have done.

“The Church leadership has hitherto put immense restraint on the restive and aggrieved millions of Nigerian but can no longer guarantee such cooperation if this trend of terror is not halted immediately.”
He said the association had persistently pleaded with the government to take courage and act to stop the terror unleashed on the Nigerian nation.
He said the country had been witnessing “the step by step escalation of violence against innocent citizens with the Christian and the Church suffering the greatest loss.”
“We also said the killings and bombings were being done according to their plans in order to instil fears with the subsequent aim of eradicating religious freedom, democratic liberties with the church and Christianity as its primary target,” he added.
