The Christian Association of Nigeria and
the Jama’atu Nasril Islam as well as individuals and groups have
faulted a statement by the Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, that
religion will kill Nigeria if it is not tamed.
CAN’s National Director, Legal and
Public Affairs, Kwamkur Samuel, and the Secretary-General of the JNI,
Dr. Abdulkadir Khalid-Aliyu, 
Soyinka had, at a book presentation in Abuja, on Thursday, warned that religion would kill the country if it was not tamed.
Condemning killings in the name of
religion, the Nobel laureate stated, “I would like to transfer that cry
(by President Muhammadu Buhari on corruption) from the moral zone to the
terrain of religion. If we do not tame religion in this nation,
religion will kill us.”
