The leader of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Niger chapter has urged Christians to detach themselves from the planned protest.
Recall that a worldwide protest has been planned to take place between 1st – 10th August, 2024.
Speaking during a message addressed to Christians, the leader, Bishop Bulus Yohanna noted that the protest could be hijacked, adding that no responsible Christian should participate.
“Let us shun protest, violence has never yielded positive results”
As you are aware, there are plans to stage a nationwide protest across the country.
“As Children of God and responsible people known for peace, I urge us all to shun the protest, speak to our children/wards and members of our congregation,” he said.”

He also added that the CAN body will not be part of the protest, neither will it endorse it.
“I want us to note that as a body, the CAN, Niger state will not be part of the exercise but rather prefer to have peaceful dialogue and continue to pray for our nation,” he said.
“Peaceful protest with clear demands is good but such could be hijacked by miscreants and be perceived by security as a threat which can lead to arrests/shootings.
“There is no time that violence has led to positive results, rather it has caused destructions, loss of lives and setbacks,” said Yohanna.
