CAN to Christians: Respect others religious beliefs

The National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN), Samson Ayokunle, has urged Christians to respect the beliefs of other religious groups.

He spoke while appearing on the Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show’. The clergyman was reacting to the lynching of Deborah Samuel, the 200-level student of Sokoto State College of Education, for religious blasphemy.

“I appeal to every Christian to respect the other religious groups around you. There is a need for religious education so you know what those around you don’t want and respect them. If there is mutual respect in this nation, there will be peace,” he said.

“In a situation where there is no mutual respect, it also does not also call for anybody to take unilateral action against anybody that has offended them. Report it appropriately. This is a civilised society; this is not the stone age.”
Meanwhile, the police have arraigned two suspects arrested in connection with the gruesome killing.
The suspects were arraigned before a magistrate court and were subsequently remanded in prison custody.
