The general secretary of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), Musa Asake, has died in Abuja after a
brief illness.
His brother and former member of the House of
Representatives, Jonathan Asake, told the Punch
newspaper that the Musa died on Friday,
morning, May 11.
“Yes, he died this morning, we are right now in the
mortuary. I was with him yesterday (Thursday) in his
house”, he stated.
Musa Asake's death comes about two weeks after
he led a nationwide protest called by CAN
against the killing of Christians by suspected
Fulani herdsmen.
In another report, the Pentecostal Fellowship of
Nigeria (PFN) has declared a one-year prayer
project for peace and harmony in Nigeria
following the alleged killing of citizens by
suspected herdsmen and armed gangs.
President of the PFN, Rev Felix Omobude on
Tuesday, April 24, also called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to deal with the ugly
security situation in the country.
Omobude in a press statement in Benin, decried
the mindless blood-letting in the country and
called on calling on Christians and non-
Christians alike to join in the prayer exercise
holding from May 1, 2018 to April 31 2019.
He also said the continuous incarceration of the
Dapchi school girl, Leah Sharibu, by the Boko
Haram sect was worrisome.
Omobude said Leah should not be made to
continue to suffer inhuman treatment in the
hands of Boko Haram members because of her
refusal to renounce Christianity and accept Islam
as her religion.
