In a strongly worded statement, the CCYF called on activist and journalist OMOYELE SOWORE—the founder of Sahara Reporters—to immediately cease his reported campaign of cyberstalking, public insults, and inflammatory reporting directed at prominent figures in Nigeria’s Christian community.

The organization asserts that such actions not only undermine the moral authority of these leaders but also pose a risk to national unity and could potentially incite interfaith tensions in an already volatile socio-religious climate.
