A few days after a female pastor in the Redeem Christian Church of God, Mrs. Eunice Olawale, was brutally killed by suspected Muslim extremists, a group of another Muslim youths yesterday attacked St. Philip’s Catholic Parish, Baki Iku, close to Zuma Rock in Niger State, destroying properties worth thousands of naira.

The Vicar-General of Parish, Revered-Father Gobep Luka Sylvester, who confirmed the news to THISDAY last night said about 200 Muslim youths stormed the Church premises yesterday and destroyed properties of the church.

THISDAY gathered that some Catholics had gone to the church to pray and were attacked by the Muslims who claimed that Fridaywas their day of prayer and that the Church only had right to worship on Sundays.

Revered Father Sylvester told THISDAY last night that although he was not around when the incident happened, he was told that some Muslim youths numbering about 200 came to the Church and started destroying the church’s properties, saying the security men in the church premises were seriously injured.

According to him, ‘’Sometime around 2pm, some Muslim youths in numbering 200 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.”

He said the incident had been reported to the police and they claimed to have made some arrest and promised to investigate the matter.

In 2012, Alhaji Kabiru Sokoto — suspected member of terrorist group, Boko Haram, on Christmas day, detonated bomb that killed several Catholics and passers-by at St Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, close to St. Philips that was destroyed yesterday.

The Revered Father added, “Just last week, Mrs. Eunice Olawale, a mobile preacher of the Redeemed Christian Church of God was killed by some fanatical Muslims in Kubwa, FCT.

This is a new one!! "Only muslims have right to worship on fridays"!!! My christian chanji agents una don see am? Na small small e de start!!!

200 hundred Christians should run amok and attack the 200 Muslims

Just immediately after jumat serviced. What is wrong with fanatic muslims. Why attack God's sanctuary? It is a sacrilege.

Where is lalasticlala when you need him.

Again

Muslims and destruction are like...

just Tell me it's not true that u are lieing .

The one that annoys me most is there usual blocking of road every friday to pray. Does that mean that God don't answer a prayer said inside the house. Or do they worship sun. Why must they be praying on a general road

"Muslim youths and foolish behaviour" have been dating for a long time!


Retaliation is necessary for their mosques in the area!

People think that Bubuhari will islamise the country by saying no more churches.
Same way he made his kinsmen bolder by his loud silence on the herdsmen massacre.
Gradually the plans are unfolding.
We had about the lockup of the church in villa.
We know how he joined forces with Islamic group.
We see how he keeps appointing the fulanis especially in the force.

What a monumental failure. How did we end up voting this fanatic.



It's a shame.

Fr. Mbaka must hear this, this is unacceptable.

If the Christians decide to return the favor dem go begin shout, nobody get monopoly of violence o!

I don't blame them sha! I blame Lugard for bringing us together in the name of nigeria. #Nonsense

If Buhari didn't condemn this attack, he should just resign.
We are never been this devided since 1960

Nonsense country.

The Kingdom of God suffereth violence and the righteous must take it by force
