From Fred Itua, Abuja

LEADERSHIP of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has described Fulani herds­men in the southern part of the country as mercenaries and armed bandits.

The apex Christian body kicked against a suggestion for the es­tablishment of graz­ing reserves for Fulani herdsmen in all parts of the country adding that such move portends “very grave danger to our national peace and security.”

CAN also warned state governments and other concerned au­thorities plotting to stop prayers and assembly devotion in primary and secondary schools across the country to have a rethink. It said such thoughts were “evil which must not prevail.”

The association, however, commended Cross River State Gov­ernor, Ben Ayade, for reversing what it de­scribed as “a wrong di­rective of an ambitious permanent secretary on this matter” and ad­vised other state gov­ernments “involved in this ungodly directive” to take a cue.

The position of CAN is contained in a com­muniqué issued by its General Secretary, Rev. Musa Asake yesterday at the end of its Na­tional Executive Coun­cil (NEC) meeting in Abuja.

“The fear of bomb at­tack or any such danger being given by some state authorities as the reason(s) for school children not to gather in prayer and learning is grossly misplaced and untenable. It is our candid opinion that government should provide adequate se­curity where there are concerns of this nature.

“We commend the Governor Ayade for reversing a wrong di­rective of an ambitious permanent secretary on this matter and advise other state authorities involved in this un­godly directive to take a cue.”

Speaking on plans by the government to es­tablish grazing reserves, Asake said: “CAN has observed with keen in­terest the ongoing na­tional discussion over establishment of graz­ing reserves for Fulani herdsmen in all parts of the country. This pro­posal, if implemented portends very grave danger to our national peace and security.”
