The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Wednesday appealed to the leadership of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) to caution extremists giving Islam bad names.
The CAN, in a statement by its General Secretary, Daramola Bade Joseph, rejoiced with the NSCIA and all Muslims in Nigerians over the successful completion of this year’s Ramadan fasting.

It said it was aware that the Ramadan fasting was in obedience to the divine directive as contained in the glorious Qur’an.
“We appeal to the leadership of the NSCIA to continue to advise and caution the extremists who are not well grounded in the faith and whose wicked and ungodly actions are giving bad names to Islam.”
“It is trite to know that no Godly person will engage in the promotion of violence, kidnapping, banditry and terrorism or identify with the perpetrators.”
