The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has described the attack on worshippers at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Abule-Ori, Obafemi Owode
The Christian association also expressed shock at the news of the tragic incidents that recently affected the Salvation Army which led to the loss of twelve pastors, a baby, and a driver in an accident near Benin City of Edo state.
In a statement signed by the President of CAN, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, said that the two incidents are a devastating blow to the congregation, the body of Christ in Nigeria, and the nation at large. “We stand with the Salvation Army during this very difficult time in prayer, asking that God comforts them and eases their pain. We also urge the government authorities to thoroughly investigate the accident to prevent a repeat of the episode.
“We mourn the loss of the Pastor and condemn the kidnapping of worshippers who were simply exercising their religious freedom to worship,” he stated.
