CAN have raised a fresh alarm that Christians and everything that belongs to them is under attack by Boko Haram terrorist group in Yobe State.

Initially, Christians were the main target of the Islamist Boko Haram terrorist atrocities when the crisis in the North-east started but later turned to be the attacks against any perceived opposing voice either from Christians or Muslims and even lately against the innocent Nigerian citizens.


The Abuja branch of CAN released something that seems like a BB message on Friday. CAN is the umbrella body the Christian Association of Nigeria.

Below is the message from CAN on the latest attack:
"BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!! Yobe states is boiling now, churches are being burnt, many xtians killed. Pls pray even if its 5mins & 4wrd 2 others. Don't ignore, cry 2 our God against those Terrorists. He'll hear & heal our land; frm CAN Abuja. Pls send 2 @ least 10 xtians".

CAN releases 180 names of abducted girls, demands N50m as damages for each girl

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Sunday, released the names of the abducted female students in Chibok by the Book Haram Sect.

The National Christian Body, consequently, demanded N50m as damages as well as overseas scholarship, for each girl from the federal government.

A Statement signed by the President/Founder of Old Time Revival Hour, Kaduna & immediate-past chairman of Northern States Christian and Elders Forum (NOCSEF), an affiliate of CAN, Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye gave reason for the attack on Chibok girls’ high school.

“Chibok Local Government is 90% Christians. Majority of the girls abducted are Christian! Why did Boko Haram visit Chibok Local Government? Why didn’t they visit so many other Local Government Girls Secondary Schools in Borno State?”
While demanding for those girls in Senior Secondary School, SSS, one and two to be transfered to schools of their choice, CAN called on faithful across the country to pray for their release.

Owojaiye said for “Daughters of Zion taken captive, to be treated as slaves and sold into marriage to unclean people. Abomination has been committed.

“​Raise lamentation to High Heavens. What a shame on the Church of the Living God.

“The Church in Nigeria is hereby called to A Lamentation Prayer.

“Every Christian home must raise a lamentation to heaven daily. Let God arise and defend his Name, Honour and Majesty.
