AS the Federal Government buckles under the pressure to consider granting amnesty to the Boko Haram sect, the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has threatened violence if the plan is carried out.


YOWICAN, whose membership cut across the six geopolitical zones in the country, said that rather than considering amnesty to the group, the Federal Government should immediately arrest Senators Ahmed Zanna and Buka Ibrahim for their alleged involvement in the activities of the violent sect.
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Wedenesday, the president of the religious group, Dr Simon Dolly, warned that the “planned amnesty for murderers is potentially dangerous to Nigeria and Nigerians because it is a clarion call to more terrorism in Nigeria.”


Dolly said President Jonathan must be reminded that the fact that the Boko Haram sect insurgency had come to send jitters into the spine of the people would not confirm absolute power to unleash violence, stressing that “nobody has the monopoly of violence.”


He said: “In case the Federal Government is contemplating granting amnesty to willful murderers masquerading as political and religious insurgents who do not respect the basic tenets of humanity and the Constitutionof the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the FederalGovernment should be prepared to face perhaps more deadly and sophisticated response.


“We ask Mr President to go all out for these Boko Haram members by consolidating on the gains made by the various security agencies and to arrest those whose utterances and actions have implicated them.”


Dolly admonished President Goodluck Jonathan to be wary of some politicians in the North who felt they could use the issue of the Boko Haram insurgency to correct the anomalies they created while in power.


“We appeal to the president not to be cowed by politicians and few misfits and naturally rebellious persons in the North who are attempting to use the Boko Haram insurgency as a bait to correct what they have failed to do while they were in power,” he stated.


Rather than engaging in a wide goose chase,the group insisted that what could bring lasting peace to the restive Northern region, the Federal Government should immediately return all missionary schools to their rightful owners, build “Christian Vocational Centres” in the 36 states of the Federation, including Abuja.


The group further demanded the employment of Christian Religious Knowledge teachers in the North.


On the Federal Government SURE-P, YOWICAN, noted that having used the Nigerian youths to endorse the programme, it had turned outto be a sham and a deceit.


The group said,”On the current SURE-P programme, we observed with dismay that having used the Nigerian youths to endorse the subsidy re-investment with good promises, the programme has turned out to be a sham and complete deceit.”

What exactly is christian about this group?! Jesus preached Love, even in the face of adversity, even to those who deligently persecute you, yet his followers threaten to act like infidels and gentiles in the name of Jesus..

One thing I am certain of is that if I go to hell, then everybody is definitely going to hell with me..

50calibre: As a Christian myself, I quite share some of their concerns and reservations. An obvious alternative is to arm every Christian with a gun and sufficient rounds and giving them the liberty to shoot any Muslim who exhibits the slightest sign of aggression.

Even Elijah in the bible, commanded fire to consume the prophets of bahl.

seunfly: I have said it b4 that Nigerian gov is giving encouragement to bad things such as corruption, insecurity, lawlessness and favouritism. Each sucesive gov have compromised too much since military era just to consolidate their own power rather that give good governance. But Jonathan has over do his own partialy due to 2015 ambition and his minority status.
Now a non violent peaple who is managing the situation we find our self will result to gov body language and the parson waiting 4 justice for the voilence papetrated against him or his peaple will be broken hearted because the voilent peaple has been compeciated instead of justice.
