CAN Raises Concerns over Borno Woman’s 14-Year Jail Term

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed concerns over the 14-year jail term handed to a Christian woman, Lami Samuel Dawa, in Borno State. According to Punch Newspapers, the woman was convicted on blasphemy charges earlier this month. CAN’s President, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, has called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the case, citing concerns over religious freedom and justice. While the details of the case are still unclear, this development has sparked discussions about religious tolerance and the administration of justice in Nigeria. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has also been urged to intervene in the matter.
