The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to put an end to the consecutive killing of Christians by terrorists in Zamfara state before they resort to self-defence.
The Christian body also urged the security agencies to defend churches in the state to prevent terrorists from carrying out their threats against Christians.
Joseph Bade Daramola, the General Secretary of CAN made the plea while reacting to letter sent to Christians in the state asking them to stop worship and to close down churches or risk attacks.
In a statement, Daramola said: “Now that a Federal High Court has declared the bandits as terrorists, we ask the police, the military and other security agencies to tackle the terrorists, who have turned kidnapping into a big business in the North East.”
