Put an end to abduction of Christian girls by Emirs, CAN tells Buhari
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has warned President Muhammadu Buhari about a “gathering cloud of crisis” if an end is not brought to the abduction and eventual marriage of young Christian girls to traditional rulers and Emirs in the North. President Buhari while receiving the Executive Committee Members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)- 19 Northern States and Abuja at the State House on 2nd November, 2016. The executive committee of CAN in the North said this when they visited the President on Thursday. The Northern CAN Chairman, Yakubu Pam who spoke with State House correspondents after the meeting also spoke about the issue of attacks on farmers by Fulani herdsmen. He said, “We came to present ourselves as the Northern CAN chapter to the President and to tell him some of the challenges that Northern Christians are passing through. “One of those challenges is that we are having difficulties in expressing our faith in the northern part of the country. We have also told him some of the difficulties we are passing through with the Fulani herdsmen. “The farmers need to be protected and in fact, we told the President that we have been encouraging our youths to go into farming and they need to be protected and when they come into the city, there is no employment; that is why farmers must be protected. “We also talked on the issue of girl child abduction in the North. In some Northern states, some young girls and children are being abducted at 12 years old and the parents will just hear that the girls have been married to traditional rulers and emirs. “This is gathering a cloud of crisis already and if that is not taken care of it will lead to a serious crisis. These are the issues we told the President. “We congratulated him on the wedding of his daughter, the fight against corruption and Boko Haram war as people have started returning to their homes; as well on the return of the Chibok girls,” he stated
