Zamfara Killings: CAN Tells Christians To Defend Themselves Against Religious Mobs
The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has asked Christians to defend themselves whenever they came under attack by Muslim mobs.
This order follows the murder of eight Christians in Talata-Mafara in Zamfara State and pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Luka Ubangari, by suspected Fulani marauders in Unguwan Anjo in Kaduna State.
Secretary to Northern CAN, Rev. Danladi Yerima, confirmed on Wednesday, August 24, 2016, that his group had scheduled an emergency meeting to deliberate on the state of the nation, especially as it affects the Church in Nigeria, with a view to finding solutions to them, Vanguard reports.
While appealing to the youth wing of the association, who are unhappy with the current developments across the nation to exercise patience, Rev. Yerima told the federal government and stakeholders in the Nigerian project to expedite action to arrest the growing trend of militancy in the North to avoid more devastating consequences.
