Following the recent killings of Christians across some states in the country, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, yesterday described the development as brutal and unacceptable.
Further on the recent killings, CAN said the “authority’s inaction is becoming unbearable and may not be tolerated anymore.”
In a statement issued in Abuja by the General Secretary of the association, Rev. Musa Asake, CAN called on Christians across the nation to always be ready to defend themselves against these further brutal attacks.
The statement reads: “The unprovoked attacks on Christians and the authority’s inaction is becoming unbearable and may not be tolerated anymore, inasmuch as we will continue to call on Christians to remain tolerant and law abiding, it is becoming inevitable to also call on them to buckle up and be ready to defend themselves against these incessant unprovoked and mindless attacks.
“The National leadership and the entire members of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) have received with rude shock and disbelief the report of yet another religious hatred murder of a dedicated 42 year old Christian mother of seven children, Mrs. Eunice Elisha, who on Saturday 9th July, 2016, was brutally killed while doing Christian evangelism.”
