Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, yesterday, dismissed the call by the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, calling on the Federal Government to grant “total amnesty” to members of Boko Haram sect for the sake of peace.
CAN in a statement by its General Secretary, Dr. Musa Asake, said it categorically rejected any offer of amnesty for members of Boko Haram sect.
The statement said: “Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, is surprised and puzzled by the statement credited to the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, Alhaji Muham-mad Sa’ad Abubakar III, that the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, should be granted “total amnesty” for the sake of peace in Nigeria and that “the bottom line of the problem facing us has been injustice meted out to people who are not supposed to.
“We wonder what the Sultan meant by injustice in relation to the activities of Boko Haram sect when members of the group are a bunch of fundamentalists who have killed, maimed, deformed Christians and made orphans and widows of otherwise peaceful and lovely families.
“They have also displaced people, destroyed businesses and livelihoods in their thousands. Would the Sultan sincerely attribute the perpetration of the injustice to Christians?
“If it is injustice, is it not government that should be held accountable? Why would the sect not hold their representatives at the various tiers of government responsible?”
“The Sultan should be told that we have since found out that the attacks are primarily targeted at Christians and their Churches. Who then is suffering injustice? Who needs justice? Christians or those killing and bombing Churches?
“The injustice to Christians killed, maimed and rendered helpless by the sect is underscored by the payment of the sum of N100 million to the late sect leader’s family by the Borno State government without any assistance to any of the Christian victims of Boko Haram.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteSend your father or mother to arrest the Sultan if you can do it.Let the country be split.Nobody is afraid of that you middle belt old fool.
ReplyDeletethose talking nonsense about Sultan should understand that BOKO HARAM problem is PDP instrument to destroy the north against 2015. it has nothing to do with Hausa/Fulani or Islam. check out last PDP presidential primary election results vis-a-vis the states where Boko haram activities are. By the time those behind boko haram are exposed by ALMIGHTY ALLAH, we shall see who will cover his/her face.
