Dr. Olasupo Ayokunle, the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has said that Nigeria is battling insurgency because “not everybody has the knowledge of God.”

Ayokunle stated this while delivering a speech at the 12th annual lecture and awards of the Bible Society of Nigeria in Lagos.

The CAN president also stated that the Christian body will continue to speak up against the killings in the country untill they comes to a stop.

“The government must rise up to its responsibilities. All our money is with the government, the entire commonwealth of the nation. So they have the duty to make sure that they provide security. I will not keep quiet until I see that this is done,” the CAN leader said.

“To overcome insurgency, there is the need for the words of God to be in the hand of every Nigerian. The fact that not everybody has the knowledge of God is the reason the country is battling with insurgency.”

This is coming a week after CAN staged a peaceful walk against the level of insecurity in the country.
