CAN Demands Investigation into Video Threatening Christians
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned a viral video allegedly showing a young man leading chants for AK-47 attacks on Christians during worship in Enugu and Jos. CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, issued a statement demanding an immediate investigation and stronger security for Christian communities and places of worship.
He urged the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force to investigate the video's origins and identify those involved. Okoh described the threats as unacceptable and emphasized that no Nigerian should fear for their life due to their faith.
He expressed particular concern over the involvement of children in promoting hatred against other religious groups. Okoh insisted that anyone found culpable must face legal consequences and called for an assessment of security risks to protect Christian communities.
He also noted the disavowal of the video by Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) but maintained that an independent investigation is necessary to establish the facts.
