– Muslim youths reportedly carried out said
act after the Jumat prayer
– Sources say the church’s security man was
beaten to a pulp
– Attack comes barely one week after
Redeemed pastor’s wife lost her life in
gruesome murder
Some youths were said to have attacked a
Catholic church in Niger state on Friday, with
the excuse that ‘Friday belongs to them’.
According to Daily Post, the youths laid siege
on St. Philip’s Catholic Parish, Baki Iku, not so
far from Zuma Rock in the state, and
eyewitnesses reported that the Catholics had
gone to church for prayers when the incident
occurred.
It was gathered that the Muslims laid claim on
Friday as their day of worship, noting that the
Christians were only allowed to worship on
Sundays after which they (Muslims) destroyed
the church’s properties.
A source disclosed that, “although some
soldiers managed to get there but a lot of harm
had been done to the building, while the
Christians ran away in different directions to
avoid being killed.”
The Vicar-General of the diocese, Rev (Fr) Luka
Sylvester Gopep, also confirmed the incident,
saying: “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.”
This incident is likely to irk Christians all over
the country again as recently, a pastor’w wife,
Mrs Eunice Olawale Elisha, was murdered in
cold blood by some Muslims in Kubwa area of
Abuja, Nigeria’s federal capital, for reportedly
preaching in their area.
Christians were after the incident, asked to
protect themselves as the leadership of the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)
described the recent killing of Christians as
brutal and unacceptable, adding: “authority’s
inaction is becoming unbearable and may not be
tolerated anymore.”

mtsheewwww.

what have we done to deserve this, our religious leaders should start preaching Love







They are ................ lemme not offend my peaceful muslim friends, but this is too much

Afonjas oya make ona come support the Slavs masters

Assuming is oil pipelines they attack BUHARI will comment but human life it has no value to the president

Not again

Why all this in this country? Why! My next world I wouldn't want to share a country with this people.

Attack on Catholic church is attack against humanity. I still don't know why right thinking group of people will attack catholic church. This is the only church that don't discriminate before giving out their services to the society. From their hospitals, to school, and other social amenities. They gave you this without asking you are you a Muslim or Christian.

I wish I am buoyant enough to single handed fixed the church.

I will be forever be grateful to the Catholic mission for what they did in my life.

Back to the Almajiri hoodlums, you people are not representing ISLAM/MUSLIM. You are bunch of illiterates who doesn't understand the teaching of Islam. Islam means Peace.
I blame hausa elites for this.

My Niger state making the news for all the wrong reason

My Moslem brothers should behave themselves nah, what all this?

Religion of peace indeed. How could u leave ur place of worship and start disturbing others worshiping dir God. I must conclude that Islam isn't peace.

The security forces in this country are also biased and work for only those who seem to control them or the religion they belong to.

From the going of things, it's possible that particular group of Muslims have been gingerly by the presiding imam to carry out this act.

I call on the security to investigate and arrest the leaders of that mosque or produce the worshippers who carried out this act.

Ignorance is not an excuse to destroy properties and causing uprising.

If this is not done, I call on Christians to also retaliate the attacks, I believe we have more mosques there than churches. I believe if Christians start retaliating, the security forces will act.

Christians have been too quiet
#ChristiansAreActivists

That is where Bubu has gotten us to. These little herdsmen behave as they like, kill at will like their big brothers and nobody cares. First a woman was killed in Kaduna nothing serious happened, another in Abuja and again nothing serious happened. Now this and I can tell you that nothing serious will happen. They have started giving out days Christians must worship, soon they will stop them from worshipping completely. I don't blame them, I blame one useless and coward pastor in this government and those who brought this government to power. An action which has made these miscreants bold.

But the Catholic approve islam as a religion of God nau !!!

Am proud to be a Christian. (Christ like)

lalasticlala , this thread worth front page Na.

The jihadists again

Honestly, I'm running outta patience for this miscreants and these truants. For goodness sake, how could a sane human go on such evil after leaving his/her place of worship? Gosh! Are these people goats or what?!

The Bible was right afterall... My people perish for lack of knowledge. Why not go about your business and let others do same? Is that too hard to comprehend? Don't they go to Mosque on Sundays to pray? Has anyone ever reprimanded them for doing so?

I have always said these guys ain't bad but... I think I would have to rethink this. I need to change my stand on this ish. These guys ain't worth it.

And... Can a Muslim bro or sist confirm these verses for me?

Religion of peace indeed!!!


We can see all your peaceful handwork

Lalasticlala were u among the Catholics they attacked?
