Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Borno state chapter has organised a special prayers for the 116 Chibok schoolgirls and Miss Leah Sharibu, the abducted Dapchi schoolgirl who are still under the captivity of the Boko Haram terrorists.
The service held on Monday at CAN headquarters Maiduguri..
The Borno state CAN Chairman, Bishop Mohammed Naga said Christians in the state would not lose hope in the release of the abducted girls and all persons kidnapped by Boko Haram irrespective of their faith.
“We know many Nigerians have lost hope about these girls. We are in despair and we thought they may not come back again, but with God nothing shall be impossible”, Naga said.
Earlier, while delivering a sermon titled the ‘Glory of His resurrection’, Rev Abel Ikeji of the Assemblies of God Mission, Maiduguri called on Christians to emulate the virtue of Christ by walking in righteousness.
He also urged civil servants, politicians and pastors or church leaders to shun corruption and have fear of God in all their dealings.
“Any pastor who uses tricks to collect money from members using the name of God and stealing or embezzling church money is not of Christ and has crucified Christ the second time,” Abel said.
