CAN Floors FG Over CAMA

The Federal High Court, Abuja has ruled in favour of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) against Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) wherein CAN has secured a judgment in favor of Christianity in Nigeria to the effect that the provisions of Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 which empowered CAC to, among other things, interfer and take over the administration of even Churches in Nigeria (or even close them down) at the slightest allegation of non-compliance with certain provisions of CAMA 2020 are not and cannot be applicable to Churches and Christian Bodies in Nigeria.

Consequently, CAC no longer has the power to interfere, take over or close down any Church or Christian Body in Nigeria for any reason whatsoever.

Recall that the Federal Government through Lauretta Onochie had warned members of CAN in August 2020 to obey the CAMA or create their own country.
