CAN urges FG to intervene in Kwara violence

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on the Federal Government and Inspector General of Police (IGP) to intervene in the ongoing violence over Hijab policy in Kwara.

The appeal is contained in a statement by the General Secretary, CAN, Mr Joseph Daramola, in Abuja.

After learning of the governments planto open the schools without resolving the crisis CAN noted that wisdom was required by those in leadership to handle sensitive issues such as that of religion so as not to precipitate war.

CAN however urge AbdulRazaq to give peace a chance in the state by ordering his hoodlums to stop attacking mission schools and churches before the situation degenerated into an unprecedented religious crisis.
