FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, makers of Peak Milk is in big trouble.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned FrieslandCampina over an offensive Easter advert.
CAN’s General Secretary, Barrister Joseph Daramola who warned the company to retract the advert and tender an apology to Christians or face legal action said:
“We find this advert to be insensitive, offensive, and totally unacceptable. Good Friday is a solemn day for Christians all over the world, a day we commemorate the death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who was crucified on the cross for our sins. It is not a day to be used for crass commercial purposes.”
“FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC’s action is disrespectful to the Christian faith and an affront to millions of Christians in Nigeria and beyond.”
“We are deeply disappointed that a company of such repute would stoop so low to exploit the religious sentiments of its customers for profit.”
