group of Muslim youths on Friday
attacked worshipers at Saint Philip
Catholic Church in Baki Ikun along Kaduna
Road in Suleja, near Nigeria’s capital of
Abuja. The Muslim youngsters assaulted
parishioners, inflicting varying degrees of
bodily injuries on many.
A police source as well as some of the
Christian worshipers disclosed that the
attacks occurred on Friday evening when
hundreds of Muslim fanatics descended
on the church and wreaked havoc on the
church building, vehicles and parishioners.
The attackers dispersed the parishioners,
claiming that Christians do not have the
right to worship on Friday.
“We were praying inside the church when
some Muslim youths with dangerous
weapons besieged us from nowhere,
beating everyone in sight, including
security guards attached to the church,”
one of the victims told our correspondent.
Another eyewitness, who gave his name
as Emmanuel, told a correspondent of
SaharaReporters that the attackers
destroyed property both inside and
outside the church. “The Muslim attackers
kept shouting that it is only Muslims that
have the right to pray on Friday. That was
the reason they gave for attacking us,” he
said.
SaharaReporters made several efforts to
reach the parish priest, Reverend Father
Gobep Sylvester, without success.
Our correspondent reported that a
combined team of armed policemen and
soldiers had been deployed to the area
where the church is located to maintain
law and order.
The attack came a week after suspected
Muslim fanatics murdered Eunice
Olawale, a female pastor in the
Redeemed Christian Church of God
(RCCG). The murder victim, who was
married, was ambushed as she returned
from her morning evangelization in the
Kubwa area of Abuja.
Her murder has triggered growing
religious and ethnic tension in Abuja and
its surrounding areas. Some Christian
leaders have accused President
Muhammadu Buhari and Minister of the
Federal Capital Territory, Muhammadu
Bello, of a conspiracy of silence, adding
that such official nonchalance was
aggravating the sense of tension.
“For President Muhammadu Buhari and
FCT Minister Muhammadu Bello to ignore
the barbaric attacks on us [Christians] in
Abuja is a dangerous signal. Their silence
gives us the impression that they don’t
care what happens to us. But they should
be aware that Christians are capable of
defending themselves if the government
does not want to do the right thing,” one
pastor told our correspondent.
