In its statement, CAN say it is last advice to the government on the matter.
CAN President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejeafor,  disclosed this at a press conference on Wednesday stating that the  association would no longer be able to guarantee the continuous patience of its members and other aggrieved Nigerians if government failed to live up to expectation in tackling the menace.
He said, “As President of the Christian Association of Nigerian my first call to all peace loving Nigerians is remain calm in the face of all the insecurity challenges as I am aware that the greater part of the overall design is to instill fear in the populace.
“I will now make final call to Nigerian Government to use all resources available to it to clearly define and neutralise the problem as other nations have done.
“The Church leadership has hitherto put immense restraint on the restive and aggrieved millions of Nigerian but can no longer guarantee such cooperation if this trend of terror is not halted immediately.
He stressed on the groups continuous talk with the government on ways to stop the violence, yet nothing good had come out of the situation, asserting that the “the step by step escalation of violence against innocent citizens with the Christian and the Church suffering the greatest loss.”
“We also said the killings and bombings were being done according to their plans in order to instil fears with the subsequent aim of eradicating religious freedom, democratic liberties with the church and Christianity as its primary target,” he buttressed.
