The Oyo State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned the killing of its secretary in Borno, Rev. Faye Pama-Musa.Pama-Musa was killed on Tuesday by unknown gunmen.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ibadan, Pastor Ayo Olabisi, the Oyo State CAN Chairman, said the cleric’s murder came as a shock.
He said: ``It is sad news and one we did not expect at this time.
``Honestly, it is not a good thing because this is what we have been condemning and will continue to condemn.
``What do you gain in taking a fellow brother’s life?’’
Olabisi, however, commended President Goodluck Jonathan over the declaration of a State of Emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, saying it was long overdue.
He urged the president not to relent in his effort in fighting terrorism, stressing that any action taken must fully adhere to the constitutional provision.
CAN gathered that Pama-Musa, who heads a Pentecostal church in Maiduguri, was shot dead at his residence after being trailed home by his assailants.
