The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has kicked against the proposed bill seeking to establish Christian Courts in the country.
Christian Courts Bill had on Tuesday passed into seconding reading in the House of Representatives.
However, the Public Relations Officers of CAN, Rev. John Hayab, while reacting to the proposed bill argued that the bill might trigger religious crisis.
In place of the Christian Courts Bill, Hayab urged the lawmakers to make laws that will unite Nigerians, rather than further divide them.
“This Christian Courts Bill cannot help us, that is why we are voicing it out.
“This thing is not really what Nigerians want now”, he declared.
Hayab also noted that the traditional religion worshippers were entitled to rights of worship as enshrined in the constitution.
“What if they wake up tomorrow and demand that there must be court for the ‘pagans?’” he added.
