The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has urged the authorities to probe the gruesome killing of 13 factory workers identified as Christians atSheka, Sharada Phase 111 in Kumbotso Local Government Area of Kano, by gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members.
Although CAN has started its own probe of the killings, it wants the police to unravel what really happened.
Reports said terrorists stormed the residence of the factory workers at the weekend and killed all the men except, sparing the women and children..
“The occupants of that compoundare mostly factory workers, and they are Christians. The gun men who came in taxi asked if they were not observing the evening Muslim prayers; and when they confirmed their victims were Christians, they started killing them sparing only the female and children.
“After the attack, I counted at least, 13 dead bodies murdered ingruesome manner. Security agencies later came and evacuated them, while the very few of them who survived the attack fled the area and vowed never to return,” said a resident of the area.
Bishop Ransom Bello, CAN chairman in Kano has been in a very bad mood, not only because of the killings but what he described as the non-challant attitude of Kano state governmentover the incident.
Bello who is also the General Overseer of Calvary Life Assembly said he has handed over the matter to CAN’s national leadership, adding that with whatis happening, it has become obvious that Christians are no longer safe in Kano.
“Reports of the attack reaching usdisclosed that on that fateful Saturday at about 7 p.m, Muslim faithful were conducting their prayer close to the affected compound occupied by Christian families, when two taxi cabs stopped in front of the compoundand the occupants, who all concealed their arms dashed into the complex and demanded to know why the residents were notpart of the 7 p.m. Muslim prayer.
“They responded by telling the visitors they were Christians and so could not be part of the Muslimgathering. At that point, they separated the men from their wives and children and shot themdead on the spot after ordering the women and children into their homes. The 13th victim, whohid in a dark alley in the compound, surrendered himself, following threats by the gunmen to visit the same fate on the women and children if any man was found shielded,” Bello recounted.
“We are pained over the silence ofthe relevant authorities in the state, including the government on such a high profile murder. Even though we believe it is the handiwork of extremists, who do not see the reason why the Muslim North should accommodate Christians. We are really worried that nobody from the government has deemed it right to console the family of those that were killed,” Bello lamented.
He added that, “government should show more concern, like ithas always done when Muslims are affected; I have not seen that in the case of Christians—that 13 Christians were killed in one straight attack and nothing is heard from the government reflects selective justice because we are aware of compensation paid to Muslim families in situations of this nature.”
Kano state Commissioner of Police, Musa Daura confirmed the incident, saying that a special investigative team has already been dispatched to fish out the killers of the 13 men.
Daura who described the incidentas unfortunate, embarrassing andbarbaric, urged Kano residents to cooperate with security agencies by giving useful information on crime, terrorist activities and strange movement within their areas.

Let me make something VERY CLEAR here: the North would eventuali pay DEARLY for these unspeakable atrocities it is (has been) perpetuating on defenseless persons who disagree with the views of a few of its Focal Minority (which many times seemed to be the prevailing view).

It has in deed started to pay, but even that is the beginning....

Rest in Peace to the Dead; and, God's peace to the Grieving families

I've said it before, and i'll say it again and again till i'm blue in the face; until the northern christians and the entire southern Nigeria (and i'm referring to the politicians, traditional rulers, student bodies, clergy, academics, etc)......until these people come together to speak with one voice, and give the core north/muslims an ultimatum to either fish out the murderers among them (most likely illegal immigrants, embittered politicians/business men and islamic fundamentalists) or be prepared to be excised from the rest of the country (à la Gideon Orkas coup) so they can then be free to link up with their brothers in Niger and Chad and form their own Islamic republic .....until this is done, i can guarantee that this wickedness will continue. They should be given the option of either remaining in a secular country and submit themselves to the constitution of the land as the ultimate law, or be prepared to piss-off and leave the rest of us in peace.....it's got to be one or the other.

R I P to the deceased and may the Good Lord comfort the bereaved...

i thought mr jona said things are under control.??

They are actually trying to reduce the number of christian population before 2015 general election, that was the instruction given to them by the former army general..I'm patiently waiting for one BEREM to come out and defend him and his evil party

^^
Reduce the number of Xtians b4 2015 election? dude, what are u smoking

BTW, why is it that whenever BH kills Xtians it makes the headline, but BH kill muslims, is hardly any news, even though muslims bare the worse brunts of BH atrocities, than their Xtian brethrens... Seems like BH political sponsors are getting 'good' value for their money afterall, dont you think? Azazi couldnt be more right about BH.

Terrible people, they now force people to bow to satan.

And their so called Islamic Leader,Sultan of Sokoto wants Amnesty for these Animals.I still wonder why some people still worship Satan(Mohammed).
