The Christian Association of Nigeria, Northern Chapter, has stated that it will resist any attempts to islamize Nigeria, especially by the north.
The body was reacting to the recent brutal murder of 8 persons in Zamfara state over an alleged blasphemy of Prophet Muhammad, and the murder of a Redeemed Pastor in Kaduna who was returning from an evangelical trip.
The Borno State Chairman of CAN and spokesperson for the 19 northern states’ CAN chairmen, Bishop Abubakar Naga, said the failure of the government to punish the perpetrators would mean that it is in collaboration with Islamic extremists.
He said Christians would resist any plan to Islamise the country under any guise.
“Islamisation of Nigeria is not possible. Christians will never allow that, Nigeria is a secular country and no religion will dominate others.
“Christians have become targets of attacks. So, we are having an emergency meeting in Maiduguri on August 26.
“The government must take action and if it does not take any action, it means there is collaboration between the government and the perpetrators of the killings.”
