Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has stated that it will stop complaining about religious oppression in the country only when all Nigerians perceive that the rule of law, fairness, and social justice are allowed in the country.

This was stated in a press release by its National Director, Legal and Public Affairs, Evang. Kwamkur Samuel, on Saturday, in Abuja.

This comes after President Buhari appealed to Nigerians not to allow terrorists divide the country along religious lines.
