We don\u2019t need to sing songs of victory because these criminals are on the move and are still having their way,\u201d Rev.Joseph John Hayab, Vice President of CAN in the North has said.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nRev.Hayab who is also Chairman of the apex Christian organisation in Kaduna State, said in an interview on Tuesday that security agents should go after these criminals until these worshippers are rescued and returned to their homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also appeal to people in Church that it\u2019s not enough for us to think that all is well now and go into our church without taking measures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him,\u201d the kidnap of worshippers who went to participate at the All Night Worship of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Kurmin Juwa of Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State; Kurmin Juwa is a community just behind the market at Kasuwan Magani, came to us as, I won\u2019t say shock but disappointing. At a time we are thinking that progress is being made, we are back to this sad story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause on that fateful night; it was a Wednesday, these bandits took away 57 people .Some escaped on the road and as I speak to you now,43 are still with the bandits and they are demanding a huge sum of 200 million.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThat\u2019s to tell you that on the side of us and security, we are also to be careful. Let\u2019s not jump and be making statements too early, jump and celebrating victory too early.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s continue doing the best we can do in carrying out this war until victory is assured because the enemies of the people and the enemies of the state are still strstegizing to cause pains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a church we pledged to continue to give the support we know how to give in telling what we know so that it helps the security agencies in addressing this matter.<br \/>\nBut I think we should use more discretion in handling this matter, the way things are at this moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe victory songs should be lowered down until the fight and the battle are completely won. We don\u2019t need to sing songs of victory because these criminals are on the move and are still having their way. 57 people or 43 people are not just 3 people, they are a whole community. We feel sad about it.We condemn this in totally and we appeal and call on the government to urgently do something and ensure that things like this don\u2019t continue to happen because the more things like this happen it creates fear in the mind of people. It creates confusion and makes people to continue to doubt any other story they are going to hear.The assurance that all is well is been questioned now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should go after these criminals until these people are rescued and returned to their homes. We also appeal to people in Church that it\u2019s not enough for us to think that all is well now and go into our church without taking measures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m appealing to all Christians especially in Kaduna State and in many parts of the North where these criminality is still going on, that if we must go to church, if hundred people are in church; there should be 30 people outside who are watching.There should be 10 people outside who are watching ,it could be alternating hours or time for these people who are watching than just go in as if all is well and we have ourselves lamenting on what we could easily help.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cSo it\u2019s not yet over, let\u2019s not be carried away by this story of victory that we are hearing.<br \/>\nDon\u2019t think if you\u2019re outside you\u2019re not part of the worship, the one who sits outside and those inside receive the same blessings.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nRev.Hayab said government and security agencies must redouble what they are doing and mellow down the celebration until victory is certain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned in strong terms the kidnap of 43 worshippers at the Cherubim and Seraphim Church in a Kaduna community, alleging that despite the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
