The Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) in Ondo State has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure the
release of Liya Sharibu, the only Christian girl among the Kidnapped Dapchi
girls.
CAN described the silence of the
President on Sharibu who is still with the Boko Haram insurgents as sad and
worrisome.
In a Press Statement made
available in Akure, the State capital, CAN Chairman in the state,
Rev. Ayo Oladapo accused President Buhari of planning to crush out Christianity
in the country.
The Christian body queried
President Buhari if it is a crime to be a Christian in Nigeria.
“It is painful to note that Liya
Sharibu the only girl that still remains with the Boko Haram is said to be the
only lady that refused to renounce her Christian faith
“With this development, It is
clear that the battle is against Christianity. Information has it that the Boko
Haram people came into Dapchi town majestically to return the girls
“They claim that they were not
aware that the girls were Muslims, hence, they need to return them because they
are Muslims When did it become a crime for a person to become a Christian in
Nigeria?
“According to the girls, they
were release because they were Muslims. Is it a crime to become a Christian in
Nigeria? President Buhari should tell the whole world ” CAN said.
The Religion body charged Vice
President, Yemi Osinbanjo not to keep quiet as a Christian in government.
It asked Christians across the
nation to mobilize prayer for the release of Sharibu to rejoin with the parents
unharmed.
The statement added, ” It is
painful that the government, civil society organization, human right activist
kept mute on the only Christian girl that is still held captive
” We, therefore, demand that the
President Muhammad Buhari and all his security outfits should without delay
facilitate the immediate release of Layi Sharibu
” It is becoming clearer that
president Buhari’s administration is out to crush Christianity to nothing in
this nation, if he is keeping quiet on the only girl in captivity because of
her faith in Christ Jesus
” No wonder, President Buhari is
not doing much as expected of him to stop the killings of people in the
Christian community by the herdsmen
“Pastor Professor Yemi Oshibanjo
should not keep quiet as a Christian at this time, we encourage all Churches to
please mobilize prayer for the release of Liya Sharibu to rejoin with the
parents unharmed. We equally call on the International community to assist in
the release of the Christian girl”

Is this what is called religion of peace? Must you force someone to accept what you believe? Any god who forces himself to be served or who must make people to be killed if he is not accepted is nothing but a coward and satanic.
