Following killings in some northern part of the country, the
National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has said that the Boko Haram is calling for another civil war with the killing of Christians.
He described the action as barbaric adding that governors in whose territories the killings were committed should be held responsible.
Speaking to newsmen after an emergency meeting in Abuja on the state of the nation, the CAN boss said "Reports received around the country has brought out the following observations. There have been continuous killing of Christians and southerners in Suleja and Madala both in Niger State, Damaturu in Yobe State, Yola, Adamawa State and continuous killing of Christians in Borno Sate.
"The pattern of these killings suggests to us a systematic ethnic and religious cleansing that we are reminded of the ccurrences of these killings of the genesis of the civil war that took place here in Nigeria. If we look back we would remember that this was how it began. Killing like this in different places and then urging southerners to leave the north and gradually it exploded and ended up becoming a civil war."
