 The Christian Association of Nigeria can, Kaduna State Chapter has organized Thanksgiving and prayers to seek God, particularly over insistent kidnappings and the rescue of abducted citizens in the state. Habila Darofaei filed in this report as presented in our studios. The Christians free folk converge at the Evangelical Church winning old church in Kaduna. In their hundreds, they lifted their voice to God over the rising insecurity in the state. Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria Kaduna State Reverend Dr. Joseph Hayab said, aim of the program was to thank God amidst difficult situation of insecurity confronting the state and the nation. He stated that the religious bill passed into law in the state was aimed at silencing religious leaders to become rubber stump in the hand of the government. He said that the political leaders have the right to regulate religious affairs. The entire bill as far as we are concerned is hypocrisy. That bill in the first instance was actually passed on the day that we were even rounded up. So there are so many things about it that is purely politics. So we feel that if there is really need for a bill in Kaduna, government should do a bill to stop criminality. Are you telling me that is because of preaching that these bandits are killing people? Are you telling me because of religious activities that these bandits are disturbing people? You can see that honestly we will not find a solution to our problem. We are just catching this and catching that to confuse people. Hayab lamented that despite all the measures put in place by government, recently bandits kidnapped about 46 persons in a community in Wawada. Residents are leaving their communities because of fear of bandits and attack. Sometimes when you look at the situation in our land, you seem to really get confused. If we are humans or something else, but we have come together, considering the situation that we are all under here in this state especially, we have come to pray to God, not only to pray anyway, but to thank God for all the victories so far, for all the release of the children that have been kidnapped, that God Almighty has helped us in answer to prayer for their release. We are here to thank God for them. Kaduna State has just signed a bill into law to regulate religious practices. You can find about fresh news updates.
