HE Christian Association of Nigerian (CAN) in the North has warned that it would no longer fold its arm and watch Christians being massacred, calling on all Nigerians to rise up against terrorism.

Speaking in an interview, the national publicity secretary of the body, Sunday Oibe, said they were feeling serious pains and disappointment on the entire system called Nigeria.

“Christians cannot fold their arms anymore, and we are telling President Goodluck Jonathan if he has not done anything to put an end to this madness, then he should know that there is trouble in his hand.

“It is highly condemnable in the strongest term because these are innocent students who were sent to school by their parents to acquire education. They went to a place of worship to worship their God only for some people to come and sniff lives out of them. it is highly condemnable, it is not just being condemnable, we will not sit down and fold our arms to accept this madness any more,” he said.

The Christians said Nigeria belonged to all of us and if truly Nigeria was one indivisible country, then the government must do something about it, because Christians were the major targets of the attacks.

“They do it on Sundays and attack only places of worship attended by Christians.

“We have mosques scattered all over Bayero University, Kano (BUK), nobody has heard any attack on them.

“They said it is the issue of poverty, but they have not attacked any government infrastructure, if it is the issue of power, then they should go and fight government, why is it that it is Christians they are fighting?” the CAN said
