You must compensate Boko Haram’s victims-CAN urges Fed Govt.

CAN President

  The Christian Association of Nigeria has opposed President Goodluck Jonathan’s decision to rule out compensation for Boko Haram’s victims.
  The General Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, said this while reacting to President Jonathan’s decision not to pay compensation to Boko Haram victims, when he received the report of the Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North on Tuesday.
 The sect had killed about 3,000 people since 2009. CAN had in April said that over 200 churches had been burnt and 1,250 Christians killed by the sect in the last three years. “If the President is saying that victims should not be compensated, he needs to explain to Nigerians why he is saying so,” Asake stated.
