The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has urged christian faithful across the country to do the protest of placard carrying within church premises or CAN Secretariats on Sunday.
A statement signed by the National President of the Association, Rev Dr Samson Ayokunle, said the directive to restrict the protests to the stated venues, followed reports that some Muslims had sent out information that they were going to counter CAN peaceful protest on Sunday, May 22
He observed that the intention of the alleged plan by Muslims to counter the CAN Peaceful protests is “to cause chaos and attribute it to us”.
“However, where it is unsafe to do the protest in the premises of your church or CAN Secretariat, you may carry the placards inside your church and pray for justice for Deborah Samuel who was wickedly and extra judicially slain.
“Pray as well for a change of heart for the wicked who find it convenient for them to kill their fellow human beings under religious guise.
‘In all, let the television cover your in-house protest and equally use the social media for the entire world to see.
“May the Lord be with us all, His Church in Nigeria and our nation who is in birth pains,” the statement concludes.
