The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has voiced profound alarm over the persistent violence and insecurity targeting Christians, particularly across the northern part of the country. CAN affirmed that the scale of attacks and resulting loss of life necessitates immediate and transparent action from the government.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, titled “Christian Genocide — CAN Clarifies Position,” and signed by its National President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, the association confirmed widespread violence and lamented that cries for justice are often ignored.
“CAN affirms, without hesitation, that many Christian communities in parts of Nigeria, especially in the North, have suffered severe attacks, loss of life, and the destruction of places of worship,” the statement read.
CAN described the magnitude of killings and displacement facing Christian populations as having reached “alarming proportions,” and strongly condemned the continuous targeting of these communities and the slow response of authorities.
The organization concluded that these realities serve as a “painful reminder of the urgent need for government and security agencies to act decisively to protect every citizen, regardless of region.”
