Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Borno state has declared fasting as from Monday to Wednesday to seek divine intervention for the release of the abducted students of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok.
Its chairman, Rev. Titus Pona, stated this on Sunday in Maiduguri.
"We are calling on all Christians in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and even beyond to begin a three-day fasting and prayer session to seek for God help for the release of the abducted girls.
"The continued stay of these girls in the abductor's camp has created worry in the minds of the parents and other well-meaning Nigerians.
"We pray that through prayer, God will touch the hearts of the abductors so they can release them, " Pona said.
He urged the insurgents to dialogue with the government on their grievances.
"They should release the girls in the name of God because only 43 girls were reported to have escaped from the abductors.
Pona appealed to the Federal Government to deploy more troops to rural areas in Borno, following increased attacks by the insurgents.
"Since the insurgents are increasingly attacking villages and rural communities, government should deploy more troops to the areas to safeguard lives and property."
Thanks
