Fourteen Churches in Zamfara State, in Northern Nigeria are now facing demolition threat by the state government, which claims that there are too many Christian worship centers in the state. Zamfara state, which spearheaded the adoption of Islamic law in northern Nigeria contrary to the country's secular constitution, is predominantly Muslim, populated with less than a five percent Christian population.

The Chairman of the State Christian Complaint Commission, David Ishaya said last week in an interview in Kaduna, northern Nigeria political headquarters, that the State Commissioner of Lands and Housing, Alhaji Hassan Nasihu gave the directive for the demolition.

Among Churches slated for demolition in Gusau, the state capital, are the branches of Deeper Life Bible Church, Mountain of Fire and Miracle, Assemblies of God and Winners Chapel whose leaders have been invited for a meeting ahead of the demolition.

Apart from churches in the state capital, the Anglican Church in Kaura, Namoda, has been sealed up following disagreement over the ownership of the land of which the over 30 years Church was built.

Ishaya quoted the Commissioner for Lands, as saying that there was need to drastically reduce the number and curtail the growth of Churches in the state.

The Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) according to the Commissioner have enough land to themselves and the other denominations should merge with them.

"Life in Zamfara is traumatic for Christians" the Chairman of the Christian Complaint Commission stated arguing that contrary to the state government's propaganda, the Sharia legal system was meant to annihilate Christians in Zamfara state.

He said Christians in Zamfara must be allowed to live as free citizens and practice their faith as provided for in the country's constitution.

What a shithole country

Instead of focusing on bandits, education and health care, they are targeting churches.
Have you not seen why development is far from them.

I weep for my people, the northerners! How has this religion helped us so far? Why is it difficult to see that it only enslaves the people and stiples development of any kind? Can't they see that the society has crumbled right in the face of the religion? Am sorry to say but religion, especially Islam as practiced in Nigeria does no good for my people in the North and to Nigeria at large.

Very Very good for all the fake pastors deceiving people instead of trying to join various revolutions for freedom

This one now na problem for African leaders in he 21st century. No hating though, I believe religion in the north has ripple effects on the masses n leaders.
Oga leave church n fight insecurity.
Fight poverty.
Fight high level of illiteracy .
Fight economic depression.
Fight corruption.

Una tire me abeg.

I'm bot surprised... It's a Sharia State. State resources cannot be used to promote or protect christian interests. In Kano, the story is not very different. The State University has no chapel, and disallows Christian gatherings of any kind.
It's sad that in a multiethnic, multireligious society like Nigeria, this thing was sold.

We were not told the whole truth.

I find it amusing that Islamists who declared Islamic Sharia law in not 1 but 12 northern states in outright violation of Nigerian constitution, with Islamic police /hisbah board/ are here shamelessly venting against Wike's declaration of Rivers a Christian state. What a stench of hypocrisy!
No doubt Wike's declaration is wrecking havoc in their Islamization agenda all over Nigeria via dipping koran in the atlantic ocean.

The most backward state in Nigeria is a sharia state.

WIKE u see what you have caused because it will not affect you.

Who is the Governor of Zamfara State? Mohammed Matawalle of PDP, one of Wike's friend.

How true is this news?

Abrahamic religion Are the worst thing to happen to humanity.

Dipping the kooran in the Atlantic Ocean is null And void and of no effect whatsoever.

SIGNS OF NATION THAT IS ABOUT TO HAVE A STILL BIRTH.

TIT FOR TAT!

INDEED WE ARE NOT ONE BUT JUST DECEIVING OURSELVES.

The news is probably fake but the reaction above shows the hypocrisy of Nigerians in general. When a mosque was demolished in PH, Most posts here supported it and they gained loads of likes. The reaction here however is a stark contrast. Virtually everyone does this. Until we learn tolerance and empathy, the Nigerian society would continue to be in a sad state.

Well, I don't know how many people will believe this lies, but I live in Gusau all my life and Tudun Wada in particular, and there in no time I ever heard of Government or someone trying to demolish a single church in Zamfara, even though there are more than 50 or churchs in Gusau alone. And almost all of them were build without any permission from ministry of Land or even ZAGIS.

Flyingngel:
Now Ganduje and shekarau will not threaten to go to court.
If Nigeria separate, i pity Northern Christian.

They are highly endangered.
Most of them pray the country never disintegrate. Cos once e happen they are a lost cause


Las las thank god for the igbos. Atleast the population on the christian side done save other christians one way or the other especially in places like jos wey fulani jihadist they try chook head.
If naija were to seperate they will overrun jos and place emir there
