Catholic Churches Now Occupied by Insurgents. - Borno State by Clinton594(m): 4:22am On Aug 29, 2014
The Catholic Church on Thursday complained that Boko
Haram insurgents had taken over the parish church
house as well as houses of Christians in Madagali,
Adamawa State.
Madagali town is the headquarters of the Madagali
Local Government Area and it shares border with
Borno State. It is also the closest town to Gwoza, the
town that Boko Haram has already annexed.
The church, in an electronic press statement by the
Director, Catholic Social Communications in-charge of
the Maiduguri Diocese, Rev. Fr. Gideon Obasogie, said
that though the members of Boko Haram had been
known not to discriminate in their attacks, it however
seemed that Christians and Christian institutions had
been at the receiving end of the sect’s mayhem.
Obasogie said, “The whole town and the parish
rectory have been occupied by the terrorists; so many
structures and items have been vandalised. Dozens
killed and a lot of church structures have been burnt
down.”
“Christians in the town are really in a terribly
situation; a moment of great persecution.
“Christian men are caught and beheaded; the women
are forced to become Muslims and are taken as wives
to the terrorists. The houses of Christians that have
fled are now occupied by the insurgents.
“Their cars are used by the terrorists. Some Muslims
around identify Christian homes to be occupied and the
Christians in hiding were also identified and killed.
Strict Sharia Law has been promulgated, as observed
by a woman who luckily escaped the death zone.”
The priest said the situation had gone out of control.
“People are finding it really hard, citizens are been
killed in their numbers,” he added.
He said the Catholic Church had been compelled to
close down all the churches on the major road linking
Borno and Adamawa states because of acts of
terrorism.

I know the Catholic church is mature and realistic enough to know that in a state of war, the religious institution is always target practice most times.
But , boko haram may be the men of the moment now, their reign will fade of like chaff open to the wind.

Can they finish the ocean water?

Rikidony: WHEN WILL GEJ RISE UP AND REALISE HE SWORE TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.

GEJ will do that when Buhari renounces violence and pledge his life to the living God.

IF GEJ HAS EVIDENT TO PROOF BUHARI IS A MAJOR SPONSOR OF BH WHY CANT HE ORDERS HIS ARREST AS THE CinC HE IS....

So these guys are in the open and Nigeria army cant face them head on... If they are that deadly, the airforce should just level that place. For me, I stand to believe that GEJ and his cabinet are the biggest sponsor of BH, cos I see no reason why some part of Nigeria will be under the control of BH and GEJ still goes around acting as if nothing is happening... Thunder fire gej and all him cabinet...
