CAN WARNS EL RUFAI AGAINST PROSECUTING PASTOR PAUL ENECHE
In a statement by its spokesman, Pastor Bayo Oladeji, on Wednesday CAN said that the warning had become necessary due to reports that Enenche would be arraigned for hate speech.
The statement read in part, “Any attempt to arrest and harass any of our pastors again will be considered an attempt to silence the voice of the church and reasoning in our nation.
“Let the government define clearly the difference between what is considered hate speech and advocacy for dying victims of continuous killings in Nigeria.
“What do you expect from a church leader whose members and fellow citizens are being killed daily without any satisfactory measures to abate the killings? Are we to keep clapping for government while people are being massacred in cold blood?”
It was alleged that Enenche’s speech escalated recent killings that rocked Kasuwan Magani on October 18, 2018 that was followed by the assassination of the Agom Adara, Dr Maiwada Galadima, on October 26, 2018.
