President Goodluck Jonathan, Christians are
still being killed in the North by Boko Haram
members, Christian Association of Nigeria
alleged on Thursday.
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Media
and Public Affairs, Mr. Kenny Ashaka, CAN
President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor said, "Last
Friday, for instance, an executive member of
CAN in Gwoza Local Government, Rev. Luka
Bazigila and a member of the COCIN Church,
Yohanna, both of who were in attendance at a
Christian fellowship were shot dead by gunmen,
who mounted a tricycle.
"Members of the sect also killed the step mother
of the Medical Director of the Borno State
Hospital, when they could not find the doctor at
home. A Muslim guard, employed by a Christian
architect in Abuja, was mistaken for a Christian
and shot dead. One COCIN member on the
Mandara Mountain was burnt by members of
Boko Haram on Sunday morning."
While he commiserated with the families of the
victims of the renewed killings, the CAN
President called on Christians to pray for peace
and unity of Nigeria as well as an end to the
insecurity on Friday (today).
"In the light of a recent statement that the
military recovered a document containing the
names of Boko Haram sponsors, I call on the
Federal Government to expose the sponsors
now. I believe that such exposition will go a long
way in the fight against Boko Haram and serve
as a deterrent to others who might want to tow
the same line," Oritsejafor said.
