In a joint statement issued on Sunday in Kaduna, signed by Rev. John Hayab, Chairman of CAN, and Bishop Mohammed Naga, Secretary-General, the group emphasized the spiritual significance of Ramadan, noting that the teachings from the Holy Books are deeply rewarding for all who embrace them.
However, the association also expressed deep sorrow over the tragic killing of 16 travelers in Uromi, Edo State, condemning the act of violence in the strongest terms. CAN stated that the loss is unbearable for the families of the victims, extending condolences and prayers for comfort, strength, and solace during this painful period. The group also highlighted the need for unity in the face of such a heinous act, urging Nigerians to come together to demand justice for the victims.
The statement further called on security agencies and the governments of Edo State and the Federal Government to ensure thorough and transparent investigations into the killings and to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The association urged Nigerians to reject stereotypes based on religion, ethnicity, or region, advocating for justice and unity to build a more peaceful society for all.
The group ended by calling on all Nigerians to join in the pursuit of peace and justice, strengthening the justice system to ensure fair and swift punishment for criminals, which is vital for lasting peace in the country.

The comment follows the adjournment of El-Rufai’s bail application by the Kaduna State High Court, which moved the hearing to the first week of June 2026.
In a post shared on Tuesday, Sowore expressed concern over what he described as “lawfare” against the former governor, arguing that legal processes should not be used to intimidate individuals.
He urged the courts to uphold the rule of law by granting bail where appropriate and ensuring that all accused persons receive fair trials.
According to him, bail is a constitutional right and should not be turned into a form of punishment or control.
Sowore further argued that using bail conditions to restrict individuals amounts to injustice and should not be tolerated, regardless of who is involved in the case.
He stressed that fairness in the application of the law must be maintained at all times to preserve public trust in the justice system.
