Nigerians Slam Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Over Alleged Hate Statement Against Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is currently under fire from a cross-section of Nigerians following an alleged hate-filled statement targeting Senior Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry. The statement, which reportedly condemned the prophet based on circulating controversial videos, has sparked outrage, with many accusing CAN of promoting division within the Body of Christ.
Nigerians from various walks of life have taken to social media platforms to criticize CAN, asserting that its attacks on Prophet Fufeyin are not only unwarranted but harmful to the unity of the Christian faith in the country. Many believe that the supposed controversial videos referenced by CAN were AI-doctored and intentionally crafted to damage the image of the man of God. They argue that CAN, instead of verifying the authenticity of such content, hastily jumped to conclusions rooted in bias and malice.
Supporters of Prophet Fufeyin have described the development as a spiritual attack masked in the form of criticism, stressing that such smear campaigns will only attract more love, sympathy, and support for the prophet. “This attack will only multiply his grace and enlarge his influence,” a commenter stated. “Nigerians are more discerning than CAN thinks.”
This controversy has also reignited broader conversations about the role of CAN in today’s religious landscape. Critics argue that the association has been largely silent on more pressing issues affecting the Christian community, such as persecution, corruption, and poverty, yet quick to condemn charismatic ministers making an impact. They accuse CAN of harboring envy and acting as a tool for denominational rivalry rather than a body of unity and spiritual leadership.
As tensions rise, many are calling for CAN to retrace its steps, issue a retraction, and focus on promoting love, accountability, and truth in the Nigerian church. For now, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin has chosen not to respond directly, but his followers believe his silence speaks volumes — confident that divine vindication will prevail
