ABUJA — The Christian Association of Nigerian Americans (CANAN) has asked the Federal Government to stop reintegrating suspected terrorists into society without first putting them through the judicial process, insisting that everyone accused of terrorism should be tried in accordance with Nigerian law.
Addressing journalists during a virtual press conference on Zoom, the association said reports of the reintegration of terror suspects continue to raise serious questions about justice for victims and accountability in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.
CANAN President, Dr James Fadel, and the association’s Executive Director, Dr Banjo Olaniyan, used the briefing to outline the group’s position on terrorism, religious freedom and security reforms.
They also highlighted remarks made by the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, during the recent U.S.–Nigeria Faith Heroes Award in Washington, D.C.
