Flashback : Kano State Loot And Demolishes Church by APCHaram: 11:39am On Aug 30, 2019
They are wailing over Rivers State rightful demolishing a mosque without due building approval and calling it anti-Islam.


Read the following article and ask yourself if this is not pure madness from the jihadists.

Shekarau has joined the long list of wailing Muslims condemning Wike and labelling him an Islamaphobe.

When this same Shekarau was governor of Kano State he not only introduced Sharia but sent thugs to loot and demolish a church.

Now he is calling Wike a bigot.




Nigeria: Church looted and demolished in Kano State
4 Mar 2008
This happened during the Shekarau Regime

A mob armed with machetes set fire to church buildings belonging to the Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) in Giginyu, Kano State, before looting and dismantling the property on Wednesday 27 February 2008.

Between 11.30am and 12.30pm, the mob set the church office ablaze before dismantling the church's zinc roof tiles, entering the building, and looting or destroying its contents. The church bus was destroyed; chairs, musical instruments, ceiling fans, building blocks and two generators were removed and sold on the streets at minimum prices; and choir gowns were handed to street merchants who wore them in mockery, claiming to be bishops. One Christian woman was assaulted and her mobile phone was taken when she attempted to call for help. Others who sought to intervene were chased away by the machete-wielding assailants.

The building, which was based in police barracks, had been earmarked for demolition, supposedly to make way for a new hospital. However the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had received assurances from Kano state officials that there would be no demolition until an alternative site and compensation had been provided for the church.

As tensions rose in the area following the demolition announcement, the state government initially provided police protection for the church buildings. However, this was withdrawn immediately prior to the attack, despite a promise by the Kano State Governor that the premises would receive 24 hour protection.

The day after the attack, the Kano State Commissioner for Information, Barrister Haruna Isa Denden, informed the press that the government had averted a religious crisis, and on behalf of the government took responsibility for the demolition. He also falsely claimed that the church had declined an offer of a new site and compensation, and later alleged that compensation had already been paid.

Following strong protestations by CAN Kano, the state government agreed to meet CAN representatives on 3 or 4 March in order to compensate the church for its losses. However, in an atmosphere strained by rumours and tensions, on Sunday 2 March angry youths from ECWA severely assaulted CAN Kano's chairman, Anglican Bishop Zakka L Nyam, as he attended an open air service in Giginyu. The attack resulted from false rumours that the Bishop had taken no action to prevent the demolition of the church.

For several years the Kano State government has regularly ordered the demolition of churches. A team from Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) is visiting the area and has been informed that following the destruction of the ECWA church, churches in the Badawa area of Kano have been served with notice to vacate their premises. "We are experiencing Christianity with bitterness" commented one of the ECWA church's pastors.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide's Advocacy Director, Alexa Papadouris, said: "It is unacceptable that a church which has sought to cooperate with the local authorities on this forced relocation has been treated in such an appalling manner. We urge the Kano State government to fulfill its undertaking to provide adequate compensation for every loss sustained by this church and to urgently find the church a suitable alternative site. Our prayers are also with Bishop Zakka, and we hope that the poisonous atmosphere created by rumours and tensions which now divide the Christian community will soon dissipate."

You asked for one example of a church being demolished in the north, well here it is.

It appears church demolitions are a regular past time activity by Kano State govt.

Shatap!

When we've exposed your hypocrisy you call us extremist for flogging the matter.

Was it not your Muslim liars that said Wike demolished the mosque just like that even though the state govt exhausted all legal means before pulling the illegal and satanic structure down?

Was it you Muslims that were tagging Wike a bigot over this same demolition?

You people are hypocrites!

Now that we have exposed your hypocrisy, you are calling me a bigot fanatic?

Bloody hypocrites

A Christian hypocrite is a person who turns not the other cheek and does what the devil would do instead.

Who gives a damn about religion? Where is the man in the sky located? Alpha centurion, Kepler 16 B or Andromeda galaxy?

You better open your 3rd eye and see how religion, government, politicians are scamming you together at the same time.

We are not turning any other cheek for you lunatics to strike again.

We are selling our cloaks and buying swords.

Christian tolerance has been a springboard for you Muslims to attack Christians knowing they will not strike back.

It is over!

Northern Muslim madness will henceforth be matched with double measure of lunacy since you people can not be reasoned with we will match your foolishness with double foolishness.

It is not "tolerance" that is the weapon of our Lord Jesus Christ, but Love, the armour and the sword of salvation which conquers all and at which every knee bows.

Accept Jesus into your life, I suggest.

Take your big bible with you to sambisa forest and preach love to BH.

If that is too much stress, I suggest the lighter journey of preaching in downtown Kano city.

Let's see where you tolerance and love preaching will get you.

So this Shekarau has been looting and demolishing churches and he opened his hypocritical mouth to talk rubbish when that breeding ground for terrorists was rightfully demolished by Gov.Wike.


Rivers state is a Christian state and any terrorist that thinks otherwise will be thrown into the ocean.

You silly! If I take Bible to you, would it make a difference?

Love is learning about people, finding out about their plight and giving them the tools to drag themselves out it, which in this case would be the ability to read and write.

But I guess you just don't see that not all the poor exploited are in Sambisa Forest so perhaps I better start by educating you.
