The Council of Imams and Ulama in Kaduna state have disagreed with the Christian Association of Nigeria, Chairman in the state, on kidnapping of Christians in the state.

Addressing a press conference at the headquarters of Jama’atu Nasril Islam in Kaduna, the council, through its Secretary, Malam Yusuf Arigasiyu, described the CAN chairman’s statement as divisive and patently false, “especially the claim that kidnappers only abduct Christians in Kaduna State.” “Specifically, majority of the citizens killed and kidnapped along Birnin Gwari, Giwa, Igabi and Abuja-Kaduna roads and the border towns with Niger, Katsina and Zamfara States have been Muslims.

“Only yesterday, the CAN Chairman also resorted to telling his tall tales on television, by mischievously dressing a security issue as a religious one. In his wild allegation, Hayab claimed that there is a grand design to exterminate Christians and pastors in Kaduna State. This conspiracy theory is already breeding tension in the State. We also have it on good authority that Hayab’s divisive campaign is a ploy to set the stage for bloodshed that is being hatched by the CAN Chairman.
