CAN demands public apology from FIRS over Easter message

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), on Tuesday in Abuja called on the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to retract its Easter message and offer a public apology.

The National Director, National Issues and Social Welfare (CAN), Abimbola Ayuba, a retired commodore, in a statement, said the FIRS’ Easter message threatened Nigeria’s unity and undermined respect among diverse religious groups.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the FIRS message was “Jesus paid your debt, not your taxes”.
