Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Kaduna State has staged an indoor protest and prayers against continued killings in Southern Kaduna.

The aggrieved Christians on Sunday, displayed banners with messages such as “stop the killings in Southern Kaduna, CAN say no to continued killings, speak for the citizens not the bandits, enough of the bloodshed, widows and orphans are increasing, declare bandits as terrorist, government must rise to their responsibility” among others.

They asked God to intervene and restore peace in all the troubled areas.

CAN Chairman Kaduna State chapter, Mr John Hayab said that the prayers will hold all through the Sundays in August.

“It is sad that elected government officials have now become spokesperson for bandits. It is a confirmation that they know them, the government must come out clean and put the bandits who are enemies of the nation on the run”.

He wondered why killings continued unabated amidst imposition of curfew. The law must be for everybody regardless of his or her religion.
