The Zamfara Urban and Rural Planning Board on Tuesday visited the premises of the Nigeria Christian Corpers’ Fellowship in the state and demolished a building of the fellowship that was under construction.

The officials, who were in company with armed policemen and operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, came with a bulldozer, which broke down the fence of the lodge before pulling down the building.

Some youths in the community jubilated after the demolition.

According to Source some members of the host community had been against the construction of the fellowship’s building, stating that the fellowship wanted to build a church extension.
The Zamfara Urban and Rural Planning Board had said that only residential structures were allowed on the premises.

The NCCF had said they wanted to convert the structure into a multipurpose facility to accommodate more corps members, and later suspended the construction of the building.
The Zamfara State Coordinator of the NYSC, Mr. B.B Ballama, who visited the NCCF, described the demolition as sad and unfortunate.

He urged the corps members residing in the lodge to remain calm, noting that neither him nor the NYSC was informed of the demolition.

Ballama advised the corps members not to spread rumours, saying that he was already getting alarming calls that the corps members were violently attacked.

He said, “It is unfortunate that the building was demolished. This is not encouraging for youths who are ready to serve their fatherland. Irrespective of where we find ourselves, it is unfortunate. No matter what happened, Nigeria is Nigeria, and they (corps members) are Nigerians.”

The President, Zamfara NCCF, Ntah Ufot, who also addressed the corps members, urged them not to react in any unlawful way but to go to God in prayers.

He said, “We are sorry that the situation has resulted into this but we still give God the glory. You may be agitated but you have full cover from God.

“I know you have issues on your mind but you should learn to trust in your leaders that the matter will be resolved. The NCCF lodge remains the safest place for corps members.”

Members of the Christian Association of Nigeria also came to the lodge to assess the situation.
