Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has expressed optimism over the Zamfara State government’s recent clarification regarding the alleged arraignment of Miss Zainab Muhamadu before a Sharia Court for converting to Christianity, saying issues of religious rights violations would be tackled in the North.

In a statement signed by the chairman, Rev. Dr. Joseph John Hayab and secretary-general, Bishop Mohammed Naga respectively on Thursday, CAN said it would give the Zamfara government the benefit of the doubt, following the official denial that no such case was currently pending in any court in the state.

While welcoming the government’s swift response, the association emphasised the importance of continued vigilance, saying that any credible information that emerges in the future regarding such actions must be treated with the highest level of urgency, transparency, and accountability.

“To Christians in the North and across Nigeria, we assure you that CAN remains steadfast in uncovering the truth wherever it is hidden. We will not relent in our efforts to expose and bring an end to all forms of religious persecution and harassment in the region,” the statement said.

CAN commended the collaborative efforts of Zamfara’s security agencies, traditional rulers, religious leaders and youth groups for their role in defusing tension and promoting peace amid the controversy.

The association appealed to Christians to remain calm, law-abiding, and prayerful, while reaffirming its commitment to protecting the fundamental rights of all Nigerians to freely practice their faith without fear or intimidation.

“While this clarification puts the matter to rest for now, we remain ready to act should verified facts suggest otherwise. CAN will continue to work closely with security agencies and relevant stakeholders to ensure that religious rights violations are swiftly addressed across the North,” the statement added.

Northern CAN also called on all northern state governments to strengthen collaboration with faith-based organizations to promote mutual understanding and prevent misinformation that could threaten the nation’s fragile peace.

The statement concluded with a firm pledge that CAN will persist in advocating for justice, peace, and religious freedom for all Nigerians, emphasizing that these values are central to the country’s unity and development.
