The Christian Association of Nigeria has called on all its members to embark on a peaceful protest nationwide to demand justice for late Deborah Yakubu, the slain Shehu Shagari College of Education student who was stoned by a mob and set ablaze for alleged blasphemy in the school premises, last week.
In a statement signed by the General Secretary, Joseph Daramola, on Saturday, CAN President, Rev Dr Samson Ayokunle, directed all secretariats to stage the protest on Saturday, May 22, 2022.
The statement titled, ‘A Request for Nationwide Peaceful Protests, Calling for Justice for Deborah Yakubu’, urged Nigerians in the diaspora to also stage protests at Nigerian embassies worldwide. According to CAN the occasion can also be used to pray for Deborah’s family and friends, peace for the country, victory for the Church and godly political leaders in the coming general election slated for next year.
From Ibadan in Oyo State, is Rev Dr Samson Ayokunle, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria is our guest.
