CAN Holds National Prayers Session

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Wednesday held a national prayers session to express anger against the barbaric killing of Christians in the Middle Belt and other parts of the country by suspected herdsmen.


The prayers came after CAN was believed to have come under undue pressure from powerful quarters to stop a proposed nationwide protest against the killings.

The prayer session, which attracted Christian leaders across the country witnessed outpouring of prayers and emotions over the killing of Christians in Adamawa, Benue, Plateau, Kaduna, Nasarawa and Taraba States and some states in the south.

Speaking at the event, CAN President, Rev. Supo Ayokunle, said the increasing cases of killings in the country had almost made Nigeria a deserted land, adding that they were already becoming an embarrassment to the country.

“The church is one and wants the carnage to stop,” Ayokunle said.

The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Metropolitan See, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, said despite the divisions, there was need for the unity of Christians in the country, particularly, as it concerns the killings by suspected herdsmen and other socio-political issues.

According to Onaiyekan, “There is no need to allow divisions to make it difficult for us to work together for things that are good.

“At the higher level, efforts are been made for Christians to come together and unite with one voice.”

Also speaking, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Ministry, Dr Paul Enenche, said expectations were high for the federal government to live up to its responsibility, stressing: 

“The primary objective of government is the protection of lives and property, and all we can say is that the leadership of the country should do more in securing lives and property.”
