The Muslim group also alleged that Christians normally disguise as terrorists to bomb churches in the North-East.
The Jama’atu Nasir Islam (JNI) has alleged that the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is using the Fulani herdsmen to cause confusion in Nigeria.
According to Punch, the Secretary General of the JNI, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu blamed CAN for the trouble in Benue state.
Aliyu also said “We, nonetheless, make bold that CAN is deliberately covering up by using the herdsmen debacle as a franchise to perpetrate evil, as witnessed in the Book Haram tale.
“Seeing that they have gotten away with those crimes, CAN has now devised a new approach to destabilise Nigeria in order to achieve their agenda.
“The ‘herdsmen’ debacle: it must be understood that this is a coinage mischievously invented by CAN over time and its biased errand boys among media practitioners to stereotype an ethnic group so as to achieve a pre-planned agenda.
“Moreover, why not call a spade by its name? And why is the whole herdsmen issue heightened now in 2018?”
“Simply, CAN is unnecessarily overheating the polity because 2019 is around the corner.
“Our take is that CAN should better go and register as a political party and contest election if they want to test their popularity!
“We, nonetheless, make bold to say that CAN is deliberately covering up by using the herdsmen debacle as a franchise to perpetrate evil as witnessed in the Boko Haram tale, as cases of Christians dressed in Muslim garb to bomb churches is still fresh in our memories.
