The national leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned, in strong terms, the arrest of Mr. Uche Nwosu at St. Peter’s Anglican Cathedral at Umunwokwe village, in the Eziama-Obieri Nkwerre Local Government Area of Imo State.

In a press statement signed by Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, Special Assistant (Media &Communications) to the CAN President, and made available to The Factual Nigeria on Wednesday, the  Christian body said it felt highly embarrassed by the ugly development and feel pained that the Nigeria Police had no respect even for the House of God.

Part of the statement said “We cannot remember whether this act of disrespect for God ever happened before in our country. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has nothing to apologize for over what the police did because we were never and would never be party to their horrendous act. The Police that did the disgraceful thing should appropriately apologize without giving any excuse. We expect them to be more circumspect in the performance of their duties.

“We are not asking the Police or the security agencies not to do their constitutional duties but the idea of desecrating the House of God in doing so is totally unacceptable, unfortunate and reprehensible. In view of the foregoing, we urge the Inspector General of Police to call his men to order and continue to respect all houses of worship, whether church or mosque. This type of act should never happen again in our country.
