The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has endorsed the United State’s position that religous intolerance is booming in Nigeria and has urged the government to address the issue.
The CAN leadership said on Sunday that the attention of President Muhammadu Buhari had repeatedly been drawn to the issue with nothing done to stop it.
The CAN said Christians are being killed like fouls in different parts of the country and particularly in the northern part of the country for their loyalty to their religious faith.
The U.S. Secretary of State had at the weekend issued a statement where Michael Pompeo said Nigeria os among other global nations where the position of secularity is not respected.
But the minister of information and culture denied the U.S classification in a statement on Sunday describing the report as not reflective of the secular state which Nigeria is amd will remain.
Mohammed said the report was the handiwork of politicians who lost election recently in the country.
