Killing Of Christians Will Plunge Nigeria Into War – Northern CAN by 2Ebisco: 7:06am On Apr 27, 2018
Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Northern Nigeria, Rev. Yakubu Pam, has advised the Federal Government and the Northern Governor’s Forum (NGF) to halt killing of Christians in the North; before the situation degenerates into a civil war.

Rev. Pam said this, yesterday, in reaction to the murder of two Catholic bishops and 17 others, on Tuesday in Benue, and killing of 44 persons on Wednesday, also in Benue and Nasarawa states.

Pam said the senseless and ongoing killing is avoidable.

“My fear is that if the federal government and the NGF do not do something urgent, the killing of Christians in the North would degenerate one day into civil war. People are being killed on daily basis, yet, nobody has ever been arrested and nothing tangible has been done by the federal government.

“Looking at how professional the attacks are being carried out, I believe that these people are terrorists, they are Boko Haram and government, at all levels, need to respond swiftly; to curtail the menace before the people are pushed to defend themselves which will lead to civil war.”

Rev. Pam lamented that the North, which is backward in infrastructure, its economy is further devastated by attacks.

“I have the firm belief that these attacks are beyond ordinary herdsmen, they are terrorists who unleash terror on innocent persons in the North.

“Government has to declare these people as terrorists and investigate the recent killings in the North.”

Pam, who doubles as the chairman of the Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board, in Plateau State, added that ongoing attacks on churches in the North, if not checked by the government, could plunge the northern states into religious crisis that will be difficult to control.

He urged Christians in the North not to go to sleep over the security challenges facing them, but go all out to secure their places of worship “to avoid being attacked and killed by the enemies of Christian faith in the North.”

The cleric appealed to the people of Benue state to keep faith in God; to expose those who are bent on causing mayhem in parts of their state and other parts of the North.

angry When GEJ provoked Muslims by removing the Islamic inscriptions on the centenary notes, did we go to war? When MURIC complained about the favoritism like xmas and new year holidays which Christians enjoy in the country did we go to war? When prof Akintola was pointing out the injustices meted out against Islam, like hijab and Waec time table, did we go to war? I think you Christians need to learn to tolerate like we Muslims.Northern CAN or jerican should know that there is no monopoly of violence. Do not threaten war on peaceful Muslims. Islam is the only unifying and true religion

I don't know why African politicians are just so stupid and crazy,if the kind of things happening in Nigeria happened in Europe, they would have all part ways a long time ago... Go and read about the history of Europe.

But in Nigeria Fulani's will come to the middle belt, south south and south east, kill indigenes of the state,and yet most of the politicians from this regions will just keep quiet.

Even during the reign of kings stuff like this do not happen, Fulani's won't invade tiv land and start killing people up and down,it will be see as an act of war,and war will be declared on Fulani's.

Europeans really messed up Africa merging a lot of tribes together to become a state.

West and central Africa nah dem worst past with Nigeria taking the lead.

If Nigeria is divided along ethnic line,80% of our problems have been solved with it.

YOU ARE A SUSPECT.

You keep supporting Buhari because he's a Muslim not minding if Nigerians are dying or not. To you, Islam is more important than any other thing.

Don't be a bigot and try to understand my point. Christian are becoming intolerant this days all because of the few killings in benue. When boko haram bombed mosques and killed Muslims did we fight? Buhari is doing his best to curb the situation. We need to vote for him in 2019 so he can finish the good works

I am a Muslim but I feel if the Christians defend themselves better these attacks won't be so rampant.

An eye for an eye

PS - i don't mean the herdsmen attacks because those ones are pagans....

Everyone deserves equal rights to worship whatever false God he wishes to serve

You again you have not still changed you must be a real religious bigot

are you really comparing removing Islamic inscriptions from currency note, holidays and Waec exam to the killing of unarmed civilians.

Indeed Muslims are wicked! No that would be a wrong statement given that I've met some really nice Muslims who genuinely care about their neighbors.

The right statement will be that you personally are a very wicked person whose heart has been darkened by Satan. There will surely be a day of reckoning.
