Dr. Supo Samson Ayokunle, the new Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) President, has some advice for the government.

Speaking at his inauguration on July 20, 2016, in Abuja, Ayokunle called on the government to do something about the reoccurring cases of religious killings, across the nation, NewsExpress reports.

“We shall not stop crying out for the government to do justice until we see that justice is done. Silence or inaction by those in government would continue to make the Christians express no confidence in them until they are ready to defend the rights of Christians and all Nigerians in this nation", he said.
