Few days after a female pastor in the Redeem Christian Church of God, Eunice Olawale, was brutally killed by suspected Muslim extremists, a group of another Muslim youths on Friday attacked St. Philip’s Catholic Parish, Baki Iku, close to Zuma Rock in Niger State.
Information gathered from eyewitnesses said, they were destroying the Church properties: the doors and the windows. Some soldiers managed to get there later but a lot of harms have been done to the building, while the Christians ran away in different directions to avoid being killed.
It should be recalled that Alhaji Kabiru Sokoto had on Christmas day four years ago (December 25 20111) detonated a bomb that killed over 200 Catholics and passersby at St. Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, close to St. Philips that was destroyed. Rev Fr. Luka Sylvester Gopep, the Vicar-General of the Diocese confirmed the incident.
He said, "Sometime around 2pm, some Muslim youths in their hundreds left their Mosque after their Friday Jumat prayer and rushed to the Church premises, climbed the wall and destroyed everything in the Church: the windows, the alter, musical instruments, the chapel.
"The security man in the church premises was beaten to pulp. Some women who were holding a prayer meeting were chased away. The seminarian who is resident in the premises was also beaten up and chased away." Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteSome people practicing violent and devilish religion saying its a religion of peace. Soon the men will be promised 70 virgins each in hell and their women maybe imbecile men each
ReplyDeleteThis is very bad. Our president is simply not protecting the Christians at all. The Mallam Muslims go about carrying out their atrocities as if the country belongs to them and the rest of the people are intruders. Anyway, those that didn't vote for him, predicted this. Someday, everyone will learn to protect himself or herself and you know what that means.
ReplyDeleteYes O!!! Baba! D General Sai Changi Dole. It is also obvious PDP led gang up on your administration to such heighten to fraud in changing d standing order of upper chamber. This also call for some administrative radicalism, autocracy & military to crushed totally to a standstill all acts of terrorism whether bokoharam or militancy. Impunity or Immunity should be erased and whoever no matter d position involved in corruption, fraud should be made to face d full weight & wrath of d law. Dia shld stiff regulation of prices & all forms of monopoly. In the power sector, those currently handling it should go in dia totality & giv to a different set who are ready to do it well. Same shld apply to oil sector, NNPC, CBN & others.
ReplyDeleteThey have decided to go round all Christian denominations. Among others, Redeem Pastor "Eunice" was killed, Deeper Life (Bridget) whose head was cut off and now they decided to visit a Catholic Church to distrup a Friday worship. They have met their water-loo for all those who were involved in this attack and all others will not know peace again.

ReplyDeleteKilling one another is not of God. God said thou shall not kill. God is a God of LOVE. ISLAM is never a religion of peace but of murderer. The Islamic LEADERS have never one day call their Muslim thugs, criminal, barbaric, and ungodly half-human evil minded children to order. According to the report, the Muslim youths left the Mosque by 2pm, i.e.after the 2 O'clock prayer.They were been instigated by their Evil minded Imam. My dear Christians,I beech thee,let pray in unity against the EVIL LEADERS in this country, that GOD should withdraw their peace. Isaiah 57v21 There is no PEACE, saith my GOD, to the WICKED.
ReplyDeleteMisguided youth is what they are. Before you condemn an entire religion, stop and ask your self how many muslim friends or neighbours or even classmates you have and now ask yourself if you have ever been worried that they will blow you up.
ReplyDeleteThey are Boko Haram members. Operation Lafiya Dole should fish them out, try & jail them like other Boko members.
ReplyDeleteIs killing fellow humans and taking delight in destroying properties a religion of peace? I get angry when they say islam is a religion of peace. who is deceiving who?
