The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Rivers State has protested the Southern Kaduna killings. It declared yesterday a black Sunday.


By 2pm yesterday, Christians gathered at Christ Church in Port Harcourt City council, where they moved to the Government House, singing and praying.


The protesters turned the Government House to a prayer centre while waiting to be received.


About 30 minutes later, they were received by Governor Nyesom Wike’s Chief of Staff, Emeka Woke.


According to CAN Chairman, Primate Isaac Anyanasikike, the killing of innocent Christians in Southern Kaduna informed their coming together to observe a “Black Sunday” and let the world know that never again shall politics be played with the blood and property of fellow compatriots.


He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to confront what he described as “the hydra-headed monster” of Islamic Jihadists and bring the “satanic assignees to justice”.


The CAN chairman urged the Federal Government to begin the process of reconciliation, reconstruction and rehabilitation and to pay full compensation to victims.


His words: “We have declared today a black Sunday, and a national day of mourning occasioned by unending spate of sectarian killing in Southern Kaduna and other parts of our country bound in freedom, peace and unity.


“The horror perpetrated by the radical Islamic Jihadists, which gave birth to this Black Sunday is more than culpable homicide. It is both genocide and a holocaust.


We write to Mr. President with passion because we are aware that you were, and still a soldier, who knows what defending a defenceless people, is.


“We believe that by sending our protest letter through Governor Nyesom Wike, it will get to the President. It is our fervent prayer that God will strengthen and encourage our Christian brethren in Southern Kaduna and other parts of the country.”


Woke thanked the protesters for their peaceful disposition and promised that Wike will receive their letter and communicate with Mr. President.





The Yobe State chapter has condemned the crisis in Southern Kaduna.


Chairman Rev. Jibrin Joshua, in a news conference yesterday, called on the Federal and Kaduna State governments to find ways to end the killings. He called for justice, equity and fairness in handling the crisis.


The statement reads: “Such killings and destruction of houses, churches and farmlands are unacceptable and, therefore, condemnable.


“No individual or group of persons, disguising as Fulani herdsmen, are permitted to take the law into their hands. So, we call on both the federal and the state government to investigate and ensure that those behind the killings are brought to book.


“Concerned authorities should also redouble their efforts in ending these killings and ensure that those affected are adequately compensated” Rev Jibrin said.


The cleric commiserated with families who lost loved ones and prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased.


He called on the state government and other northern states to allow the teaching of Christian Religious Knowledge in schools, which had not been in practice before now.

because they are his brothers doing the will of their creator, who is hell rufai to interfere? There is a silent jihad going on,the earlier we see it the better prepared we will be

What is going on is ethnic cleansing of Kaduna for the total dominance of Hausa Muslims.

The fact that the Nigerian government decided not to disarm the Fulani herdsmen confirmed the ulterior motives of the Fulani Muslim Head of State and State Governor.

The victims must stop lamenting and take action.
They have the constitutional right to defend and protect their lives and properties from the Fulani marauders.
The Fulani herdsmen are not spirits.

There are combat drones at speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour that will end all the attacks by Fulani Herdsmen.

The dones will pursue and attack them wherever they are.

Enough is enough!

We all need to rise up against this manace

Let CHRISTIANS ECHo to their people nation wide that.all CHRISTIANS should avoid buying FULANI'S cow we can not continue to give strength to these fulani people by buying their cow to kill our own people. If we lose at all it shouldn't be in 2 places i.e lose our money and lives of our Christian brothers and sisters.Its just like a father paying armed robbers to kill his own son which only signifies MADNESS. LET ALL CHRISTIANS STOP BUYING COW FROM THE FULANI PEOPLE IT MAY NOT STOP THE KILLINGS BUT WILL DEFINITELY REDUCE THEIR STRENGTH TO KILL

seunlayi:

Their impunity is treason.

Daylight Ethnic Cleansing

I personally go to the poling unit, and vote for BUHARI.

That is the greatest mistake I ever made in my life.

Thank God there is hope..

Another chance is coming

All religious organisations in nigeria create problems than uniting the people...In my opinion I think JNI and CAN should be proscribed.
JNI of Jins
CAN of worms

Buhari will be fast in condemning crimes in foreign lands but will keep mute at genocide by his Fulani brothers.


We are watching

When Nnamdi Kanu said that fulani herdsmen is a terrorist organization and a means to annihilate the christian race, Afonjas called him a flat head and ask him to shut up.

Now tell me, is it not happening already ?

kikikikikiki then from where will u have source of meat,dog ni??

So long as no cow or Fulani was killed buhari, Dss, Nigerian Army, police etc will see no problem with what is happening. If one cow or Fulani was killed, you will see them forming committees to resolve the issue quickly. I remember just recently a committee was set up by the Nigerian Army to fight cattle rustlers but none will be set up to fight this genocide.

If that would stop, it a good one.... but wetin concern Aboki with protests, if Protest is the solution ,we won't even have 1 chibok girl with Bokoharam again.....

RIP to the departed souls. May God give the family the fortitude to bear the loss. But, sincerely speaking. there is no basis or fact proving this senseless killings.
