Boko Haram: Oritsejafor explodes

Miffed by continu­ous killing of Christians in the North East and the daring attacks launched by Boko Haram, the Presi­dent of the Christian As­sociation of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, yes­terday, warned that enough is enough.

Pastor Oritsejafor, who spoke extensively in Abuja during the National Executive Council meeting of CAN, said territories that had fallen under the control of Boko Haram, were predominantly populated by Christians. He emphasised that Christians were no longer safe in that part of the troubled country.
The CAN president re-echoed his earlier stance that Boko Haram was waging a religious war against Chris­tians. According to the fierce preacher, who has consistently been at the front-line in criti­cising the activities of Boko Haram, said the carnage in the North-East was unacceptable.
He said: “What is happen­ing in the North-East is unac­ceptable to us. Christians are the main victims. We are not saying that other people are not affected, but Christians are the ones affected more. All the places where Boko Haram has foisted their flags are domi­nated by Christians.
“They have taken over Mubi in Adamawa State, which is dominated by Chris­tians.
“Somebody will now tell me this is not religion. Who is fooling whom? Nigerians should accept that we have a problem.”
