2025: Christian Youth Set To Stage Peaceful Protest Over Killings in Nigeria – Adama
The news of “The Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF)’s plans to hold a peaceful protest in Abuja in response to the growing attacks on the Christian faith and its leaders has gone viral. This they alleged are being supported by Omoyele Sowore and his collaborators.
In a statement signed by the convener, James Adama, he explained:
“This protest is being organized to address the increasing disrespect and hostility directed toward Christianity and our religious leaders by Sowore and his associates.”
He continued, “It is deeply troubling that Christianity and Christian leaders are being deliberately targeted, our beliefs and traditions are being disrespected, and our faith is being undermined. These actions are reportedly backed by financial support aimed at provoking religious unrest.”
Adama also used the opportunity to draw attention to the rising levels of violence across Nigeria.
“We are calling on the government to urgently address the alarming increase in killings and bloodshed across the country. This senseless violence must come to an end, and the government must take decisive action.”
The CCYF is calling on all Christian youths in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to participate in the peaceful protest, which is scheduled to take place on May 21 at 10:00 AM, concluding by 2:00 PM. The venue is the Unity Fountain, opposite Transcorp Hilton, Maitama, Abuja.
To ensure broad participation, Adama stated that free buses decorated with CCYF banners will be provided from various locations across the city and all six area councils of the FCT.
By taking a stand against violence and intolerance, the CCYF is: ‘Amplifying their voices by ‘Peacefully expressing their concerns and demands for safety and security’; ‘Promoting unity in the country: Bringing together Christians from various backgrounds to stand against injustice’, as well as ‘Advocating for peace in Nigeria and this as well ‘Demonstrating their commitment to peaceful resolution and coexistence’.
It’s high time Christians in their own Nigeria are FREED from homicide (The act of killing another person, either intentionally or unintentionally. It is a serious crime and can be classified as murder, an intentional killing with malice aforethought; being cloned and clothed as Christian persecution in Nigeria !!!”
