"Our Girls Are Forced To Marry Muslims In The North"- CAN Cries Out
The Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State Chapter, Rev. Joseph Hayab, has revealed the series of the persecution the Christian faith is subjected to in the northern part of the country.
He said Christian girls are being forcefully married off to Muslims and many of their brilliant children denied admission into higher institutions solely due to their religious confessions.
Hayab also lamented how Christians were being denied job placements across ministries and private organisations.
The Church Leader said a lot of his colleagues were afraid to speak against these maladies due to fear of the unknown.
He explained, "As a Christian and particular as Church leaders, you must be known with telling the truth of what is happening in the society so that the leadership of the country if it is a listening one will be able to amend itself to the reality of life.
"We have many of our young girls that have been forcefully married to Muslims and forcefully against their will being made to convert to different faith.
"Evidences abound in our higher institutions that our children cannot gain admission no matter their qualifications, or where they are given admission, they will not be given the course of their choice even if they have requisite qualifications to study such courses.
"In obtaining offer of appointment, the story is the same. A survey could be made to ascertain this allegations. One will be shocked to discover that what Christians are going through in the country especially in the north is far more than what we are crying for. The situation is so bad that we are looking unto God Almighty to arrest it for a better society where fairness and equity abound for all and sundry."
Hayab added, "As a Church, We must be seen standing and speaking for the truth in every situation because the Church of God in Nigeria is in pain. Those who love God and humanity must stand and speak out the truth every evil in the society. We should not fear man but God Almighty."
