The Christian Association of Nigeria on Wednesday raised the alarm over alleged continued killings of Christians in the North by the Boko Haram Islamic sect.
The association, in a communiqué at the end of its Special Meeting in Abuja by its General Secretary, Dr. Musa Asake, expressed worries that despite the state of emergency declared in the North-Eastern part of the country to curtail insurgency, the attacks on Christians had continued unabated.
Giving the chronicles of the new spate of killings, it said suspected Boko Haram members attacked Ngoshe village in Gwoza Local Government area of Borno State on November 3 and killed eight Christians.
CAN further alleged that several churches had been burnt since the killings were carried out without any of the attackers being arrested.
The communique reads in part: “On the 3rd of this month at about 8pm, Boko Haram members attacked Ngoshe village in Gwoza local government area of Borno state and killed 8 Christians: Baba Ayuba, Baba Bitrus and Baba Isa Biyabra, the security guard and four others whose names we are yet to get.
“They burnt 11 houses owned by the Christians and three churches: EYN church, Deeper Life Bible church and the Redeemed Christian Church of God. We were informed that when the Christian community sought to9 meet the state governor on this issue, he said, “He does not have the time to see them until February next year.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

So pls mr pastor, dnt jus talk bcos of cheap publicity. Nigerians, muslims/christains r affected. Let's pray 4 peace to b restored.
ReplyDeleteWhy won't you talk like this when we all know that Boko Haram is all about elimination of Christians.
ReplyDeleteAre mosques being burnt?
Are muslim villages/communities attacked directly?
Are they not carrying out the doctrine spelt out in the Quran?
If not, why wouldn't all the muslims rise up to stop the propaganda of their faith.
iya shotup ur smeling gworo mouth boko haram lik u
ReplyDeleteCAN my foot! I now can see why some prominent christians are refusing to associate with CAN under Oritsejafor. The man has turned to PDP or even worst than them, no wonder he went to Israel to pray for Oduah. Yeye man. When Onaekan was there he wasn't like this, he always said the truth wether you're a muslim or a christian. I think it's time for Christians to remove Oritsejafor from that seat before they start witnessing what PDP is faced with, a stiche in time saves nine.
ReplyDeleteIya Ʊ̲̣̣̣̥ are a useless person,Ȋ̝̊̅§ muslin dat doing dis evil thing
