As Christians worldwide mark Christmas today, the Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria CAN, (Kano Chapter), Bishop Ransom-Bello, has instructed Christian clerics not to allow the use of banger/knockouts during church services, to avoid terrorists from hijacking the celebration to wreak havoc.
Bello, who is the Overseer of Calvary, Life Assembly in the State made this known while speaking with newsmen over abuse of using fireworks to frighten celebrants during festivities.
According to him, he had instructed pastors, bishops and deacons in their respective churches to not only be extra-vigilant but to also report strange faces during Christmas service to security agents for prompt action.
