A Catholic priest, Rev Fr Gabriel
Teruwose Ngebea, has called on the Federal Government to proscribe the Christian
Association of Nigeria, CAN, and Jamatul Nasrul Islam.
Ngebea explained that the
proscription of the group will lead to the adherence to Nigerian Constitution
which states that that the country is a multi-religious state.
Speaking in Abuja, on Tuesday, the
clergy stressed that the proscription of the group will go a long way to put an
end to religious crisis being instigated in the country.
According to Ngebea, “CAN and JNI
should be proscribed because apart from their failed mandate of advancing
religious interests that these bodies have constituted themselves into a
political organization, often deployed to pursue political interests.”
The Catholic Priest, however,
proposed the establishment of Religious Equity Commission (REC) with a mandate
to ensure that there is no discrimination among Nigerians on the basis of their
faith.
“The establishment of an
independent Religious Equity Commission whose mandate should be to ensure that
there is no discrimination among Nigerians on basis of faith.
“CAN and JNI should be completely
banned in the country,” he said.
