The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) yesterday told the Borno State government to pay N500 million compensation to each family whose love ones have been brutally murdered by the Boko Haram Islamic sect.
The northern branch of the CAN blasted the state government for paying N100 million as compensation to the family of the deceased leader of the Boko Haram Islamic sect, saying it was improper for the government to use tax payers’ money to settle the relation of an outlaw who was responsible for the killings and destruction of property of innocent Nigerians, particularly Christians.
The CAN in a statement signed by its publicity secretary, Mr. Sunday Oibe, said: “We, therefore, demand N500 million compensation to the families of each Nigerian killed by the Boko Haram Islamic sect from the Borno State government in the interest of justice, equity and fair play.
“The decision of the Borno State government to compensate the in-laws the Boko Haram Islamic leader without equally compensating other Nigerians killed by members of the Islamic sect goes to show the insensitivity of the government towards the losses suffered by other Nigerians.”
