Some Muslim youths on Friday attacked St. Philip’s Catholic
Parish, Baki Iku, in Niger state for daring to hold a church
programme on Friday.
DAILY POST reports that according to eyewitnesses, some
Catholics, who had gone to the church to pray were attacked
by the Muslims on the claim that Friday was their day of
prayer and that the Church only had right to worship on
Sundays.
The eyewitness said, “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”.
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.”
