CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh
The Christian Association of Nigeria has welcomed the rescue of pupils, teachers and other victims abducted from schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, describing it as a moment of thanksgiving while urging the government not to relent until all Nigerians still held by terrorists and bandits regain their freedom.
In a statement on Sunday signed by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, CAN thanked God for the safe return of the victims after 56 days in captivity.
Recall that on May 15, scores of armed men stormed the Ahoro-Esiele and Yawota communities of Oriire Local Government Area, near Ogbomoso and kidnapped school children and teachers.
After 56 days in captivity, they regained their freedom.
