CAN urges NSCIA to caution Muslim extremists
By Rasaq Adebayo
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) to caution extremists who were not well grounded in Islam.
In a statement titled, ‘CAN rejoices with NSCIA, Muslims at Sallah.’ by CAN’s General Secretary, Daramola Joseph, CAN advised the Council on Thursday.
The statement read: “We are not unaware that your fasting was in obedience to the divine directive: ‘O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous’ Surat Al-Baqarah 2:183.
“May God answer all your godly prayers offered throughout the month.
“We appeal to the leadership of the NSCIA to continue to caution the extremists who are not well grounded in the faith and whose wicked and ungodly actions are giving bad names to Islam.
“It is trite to know that no godly person will engage in the promotion of violence, kidnapping, banditry and terrorism or identify with the perpetrators.”
