The Christian Association of Nigeria has described the attack by the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs on the hijab crisis and appointment of Appeal Court Justices as evasive.
NSCIA recently attacked CAN for opposing the nomination of 13 Northerners/ Muslims out of the 20 jurists listed as Court of Appeal Justices.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has chided the leadership of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) for allegedly making an indefensible claim over issues raised on the ‘lopsided appointments made by the federal government in favour of Muslims in the country’.
In a statement issued by the General Secretary of CAN, Joseph Bade Daramola, the association accused NSCIA of using ‘vulgar, immature language and unprintable words to describe CAN in its bid to justify the obvious lopsided appointments of the federal government in favour of its members’.
According to CAN, “The council was smart by half when it picked an example of just one arm of government without addressing the totality of fundamental questions on all the arms of government.”
