Christian Association of Nigeria has directed churches to embark on a nationwide peaceful protest over the gruesome murder of a student of Shehu Shagari College of in Sokoto, Deborah Samuel, by Muslim fundamentalists.
The General Secretary of CAN, Joseph Bade Daramola, gave the directive in a letter obtained by journalists on Saturday.He said, “I have been directed by the CAN President, Dr Samson Olasupo Ayokunle, to request all church leaders, through your various churches, to organise a peaceful protest in honour of one of our daughters, Deborah Yakubu, who was gruesomely murdered on Thursday, May 12, 2022 at the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto in Sokoto State by some Islamic extremists.
“The protest will take place on May 22, 2022 in the afternoon by 3pm in every secretariat of the Christian Association of Nigeria nationwide and not on the streets in order to avoid further loss of lives. Those without CAN’s Secretariat may use any church with big premises. “We are to hold placards with some succinct message like ‘We demand justice 4 Deborah’, ‘No more killing in God’s name’, ‘Enough is Enough’, ‘Police, stop unprovoked killings in Nigeria’, ‘Christians are not second-class citizens’, ‘Killers of Deborah must be prosecuted’, ‘We condemn religious killings’.
Seriouslly? This country is collapsing den.. should the government and religious leaders allow this to go through., The end will not be good.
