The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State chapter has vowed to pursue the recent ruling made by a Kaduna Court in favour of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) on religious preaching bill in case the state government appeals the judgement up to Supreme Court. it would be recalled that last week, a Kaduna State High Court in its judgement said that the government has no power to issue licenses to religious clerics before embarking on preaching. He said: “In fact, it is no longer news that people within Kaduna State are repeatedly being robbed, abducted or killed by armed bandits, often identified as Fulani herdsmen almost on a daily basis. At present, people in some rural communities in Kaduna State are unable to go to the farm purely for fear of being abducted, raped, or killed and yet all the government worries about is a Preaching Bill”. He said CAN will pursuit the recent judgement made in favour of a Kaduna Court in case the state government appeals the judgement up to Supreme Court, saying, we are determined to pursue the case to its logical conclusion.
