The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) declared Friday as a day of fasting and prayer for peace, unity and progress of the country.
A statement by the National President of the association, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, decried the increased spate of bombing and general insecurity in the nation, saying it’s only supplication to God that can salvage Nigeria.
Oritsejafor therefore urged all Christians to use the day to pray against the escalating activities of the militant Islamic sect, Boko Haram, as well as the Fulani herdsmen and for God to expose them and their sponsors.
He also urged well meaning Nigerians to pray for the quick recovery of victims of the recent Nyanya Motor Park bomb blast still at different hospitals within the Federal Capital Territory and for the release of the remaining abducted girls from the hands of their abductors.
