A Christ Apostolic Church branch has been sanctioned by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Oyo State after bloody attacks on a Muslim family in Iseyin.

Speaking with Daily Trust on Sunday yesterday, Apostle Sunday Ogundairo, CAN chairman in Iseyin Local Government Area said the Christian body has gone pleading with the Muslim leaders in the town.

He added that the pastor has been sanctioned by CAN.

“I have gone round pleading with the Islamic scholars in Iseyinland. They should please soft-pedal their annoyance. It is glaring that the man (pastor) was guilty. CAN in Iseyin has also sanctioned the pastor and ordered him to look for another place to locate his church.

“The case started since last year and we have always settled the issue before the one which happened on Sunday”, he said.

Apostle Ogundairo assured that talks are ongoing with the Muslim community to ensure that peace is maintained.

A widely circulating video had indicted the pastor and some congregation of Christ Apostolic Church, Oke Imuse, Iseyin of battering Mr. Sulaimon AbdulAzeez and his two wives who were in purdah.

The victims narrated how the pastor had hired soldiers to unleash havoc on them for allegedly slaughtering ram while facing their church.

According to AbdulAzeez, his heavily pregnant wife was severely beaten and dragged to the church premises by the pastor while his other wife’s head was smashed.

The attacks which occurred on Eid day have been condemned by the Muslim Rights Council (MURIC), CAN and other religious groups.

According to MURIC’s Executive Director, Prof. Isiaq Akintola, there has been a misunderstanding between the Muslim family and the church over noise pollution, a case which he said the king of Iseyin had to intervene.

The erring pastor should be jailed, and his son dismissed from the army.

How can someone attack a man and beat his wives, including a pregnant one, for slaughtering a ram in his own compound?

See how all Yorubas come together to discipline the pastor. This is how society should be run—with justice and fairness.

I hope the Igbos can learn something from the sophisticated ways of the Yorubas

Instead of unnecessary rancor and bitterness, drastic mediation and mitigation could solve the problems

CAN did well.

But Muslims association looks away when Muslims assault or kill Christians.

The difference is clear.

Misguided or mischievous people are quoting me about the killings of Fatima and her kids in Anambra State. Has it been said or confirmed that the killings were by Christians for a religious reason? If yes, where is your evidence? If not, why are you trying to use it to judge CAN here? Drag the police for that one. Drag CAN for crimes vividly commited by Christians on religious basis.

Deborah was killed by Muslims for religious reasons. The church sanctioned by CAN in this post attacked Muslims for religious reasons. The similarity is clear. But the case of Fatima is different. Stop mixing things up unnecessarily. It is not said or proven that Christians gathered and killed Fatima because she was a Muslim. Fatima's case, until proven otherwise, is a non-religious one that should be handled by the police, not to be handled by CAN.

hepiwano:
This reaction was swift from CAN leaders, nice response. We can actually all live in peace with our neighbors

If only it is not one-sided.

All these mad people opening churches here and there

peace is needed

Christianity is the only true religion of peace....

Codepain:
Igbos are too comfortable spewing lies.
Which Muslim association look away.
You're just been a fool

Present proofs.

1.
What has any Muslim association done to the killers of Deborah in Sokoto?

2.
What has the association done to those who killed a female preacher in Abuja?

3.
Which word or sentence in my comment makes you attack Igbo under this thread?

You are inconsistent. You quickly changed your statement because you can't justify your attack on the Igbo tribe. This clearly shows that you don't think before you speak or write.

Thank you for your write and for not being biased.
Igbos in Lagos should learn from this welcome act of understanding among us.

Not only churches even mosque too are open everywhere.

Christians and muslims are different sides of the same coin.

Igbos in Lagos with their numbers have never killed a yoruba man in Lagos but it has become a ritual that hausas n fulanis must murder a yoruba man in your Lagos year in year out but your demented silly demonic brain is obsessed with igbos

Sharpsharp00123:

The same way he is defending what happens in the North.

Your demonic silly brain will never condemn the hausas and fulanis that has made it a ritual to kill yorubas in your Lagos every year yet non of the demons like you will say pim. Your father or uncle was murdered in broad day Light but una no say pim. There should be another word for idiots like you honestly.

I dont trust all those tebliq Muslims. Their wahala too much, for the pastor to hire soldiers,he must hv been so frustrated by the Alfa. Werey la fin wo werey

Christians are cowards
No islamic.body will ever issue a statement like this against his own wrong or right

Head dey pain you. Person dey slaughter ram for front of his house pastor talk say he dey face his church.

Death to all Christians terrorist

CAN is not the court of law.
The so-called pastor and all members involved should be arraigned for proper prosecution.
Those military officers too must be sanctioned by their authority.
That's it.

NOwazobia:
Hope you keep this energy when Deborah, and the Female Preacher was murdered without justice.

The killers of Deborah must be properly prosecuted too. A death sentence should be a perfect punishment for such barbaric act.
That's it.

COMRADES are speechless! How can a pastor sends his military son to brutalise someone when the sole goal of Christianity is tolerance and love?
