Muslims attack Catholic church on
Friday, casualties recorded
– 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.”
