Youths reportedly burnt down Baptist Church at Gidan
Maso village in Rogo Local Government Area of Kano
State because of a Muslim man, Yahaya Joshua who
converted to Christianity.
According to VANGUARD, the youths also burned down
the Pastors residence causing the death of one of the
Pastor's daughter.
Narrating how the incident happened, President of
Tarayyar Masihiyawan Nijeria (Hausa, Fulani and
Kanuri Christians), General Ishaku Ahmed Dikko
(retd), told newsmen yesterday in Abuja, ''The Baptist
Church at Gidan Maso village of Rogo Local
Government Area in Kano State was set on fire by
youths of the village on April 1 at about 7:30p.m.
''The church and all the properties were burnt down in
the presence of the Christian community despite all
pleadings for them to stop the destruction.
''The arsonists gathered cornstalks, put them inside the
church before setting it ablaze. This made the action to
seem deliberate and for ulterior motives. The
Christians present exhibited great Christian qualities
by not taking the law into their hands by trying to stop
them by force.
''Rather than see reason, the arsonist were infuriated
which led to setting the house of the pastor, Rev Habila
Garba, ablaze as well. One of the pastor’s daughters
died of suffocation and most parts of the house
destroyed. They also attacked and wounded Bawa
Adamu and Aminu Dauda, who received machete cuts
leading to broken arms. Others received similar
wounds, but of lesser degrees.
''The cause of the barbaric act was to kill one youth,
Yahaya Joshua, who converted to Islam but later on
reverted back to Christianity. He had escaped on
learning of the plan to kill him. They therefore set the
Church and Pastor’s house on fire and went about
maiming and wounding any Christian they saw.
''The incidence was immediately reported to the Police
and the District Head at Rogo. No information has been
received about the action taken or if any arrests were
made.
''However, all the wounded know and can identify
their attackers by name since they all belong to the
same village. The Tarayyar Masihiyawan Nigeriya is
calling on the authorities to take the necessary steps to
stem or stop all these harassments and molestations of
innocent Christians for whatever reasons.
''We have the right to belong to any religion of our
choice and live anywhere in this country. We call on
the authorities at all levels to rise up to their
responsibilities to protect lives and properties of every
citizen in this country.
