The directive was contained in an internal memo signed by CAN’s National General Secretary,  Daramola Joseph, and addressed to all national leaders, bloc leaders, zonal chairmen state chairmen and secretaries of CAN nationwide.
The memo reads in part: “This is to inform you that the CAN President, in view of the continuous killings, banditry and host of other problems in Nigeria has considered it imperative and absolutely necessary that our country needed prayers for God’s mercy and intervention in our land.
“Consequently, all local churches are expected to gather in the evening of each day set aside for the prayers to pray to God in the attitude of mourning or soberness for the bloodshed of many innocent Nigerians most especially Christians.”
