The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has condemned the attacks by Boko Haram on civilians, police stations, prisons and military formations in different parts of Adamawa State.
A statement by the General Secretary of the umbrella body of Christians in the country, Rev. Musa Asake, maintained that recent happenings in the North-east confirmed CAN’s position that the Islamist group had no other mission than to annihilate Christians in the region and install an Islamist regime.
Asake stated that apart from the military infrastructures torched by the terrorist group, the Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa Nigeria, EYN, otherwise known as the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria, other churches as well as individuals targeted for destruction were all Christians and their places of worship.
According to the CAN scribe, the Federal Government should do well to explain the sins committed by the former National Security Adviser, the late Gen. Owoeye Azazi, who was summarily dismissed in June 2012. “Was he sacked because of his Christian religion and to satisfy the cravings of his Muslim counterparts?,”he asked.
