El-rufai Moves Against Dunamis Churches In Kaduna.
Set To Demolish Them.
(As Posted by Chidimma Greenpop)

There is palpable tension in the Christian community in Kaduna state over a letter written to the Dunamis church, demanding for details and update of all its religious institutions and church locations within Kaduna State, by the El-Rufai led administration.

Kaduna state Urban Planning Development Agency, KASUDA, had prior to the presidential and national elections written to the Dunamis Church requesting it to furnish it with details and update of all its religious institutions within Kaduna State.

Reacting to what it considered a threat letter, CAN Kaduna chapter, had, in a letter cautioned Governor Nasir El–Rufai, describing it as a threat to demolish Dunamis churches located in the State, adding that Christians will resist any persecution by the government.

The protest letter by CAN over the threat to demolish Dunamis churches in the State was on the heels of an official letter from KAPSUDA, asking the church to provide details of its operation in the State.

In a document obtained by our correspondent, CAN State Secretary, Dr Sunday Ibrahim directed that the church should not give the information saying that it was a ploy by the government to embark on the demolition of Dunamis churches in the State.

The acting General Manager of KAPSUDA, Hajiya Fatima Bambale in an official letter with reference number PS/14/PP/ZIII/20, 624/ VOL.I/0 and titled “Up-date of religious institutions within the State”, said, ” I am directed to request you to furnish the Agency with your details through the attached form”.

She added, “You are to reply within seven days of receiving this letter”.

However, in a swift reaction by CAN Secretary, Dr Ibrahim in a letter dated February, 7th 2019, it said that “We write to express our dissatisfaction with the content of your letter and to remind the Agency that she is a government Agency and not individual establishment”.

According to Ibrahim, “where the government, through the Agency finds it necessary to update religious institutions within the State we strongly believe that the Agency knows well enough the proper channel to follow which is through CAN or Interfaith”.

He said that Dunamis church decided to contact CAN after the government Agency decided to direct it’s letter demanding a list of all its branches in the State.

Dr Ibrahim further noted that the demand was offensive, and suspect as it was ill-conceived and inappropriate that the Agency should write the individual church directly disregarding CAN. This he said was provocative and raises suspicion and an attempt
“at using KAPSUDA which is a Government Agency as a tool to persecute the Dunamis International Gospel Centre Churches in Kaduna State”.

“We shall resist in strong terms any action or inaction that is inappropriate and perceived as an I’ll intention against the church, person or group. And we also are reminding the government that she is solely established for the protection of people and properties and not their destruction. We also remind KAPSUDA once again that she is an agency of the State and not of a single individual hence, we call on her to resist the temptation of allowing herself used as an instrument to perpetuate injustice or persecution of the church or any individual person and groups in Kaduna State”.

Meanwhile, few months ago, it would be recalled that there was altercation between the Governor, El–Rufai and the General Overseer of Dunamis church, Pastor Paul Enenche, during the last crisis, after the kidnap and death of the paramount Chief of Adara, Chiefdom, in which Governor threatened to prosecute leader of the church.

El Rufai is a terrorist

Religion of peace indeed. The biggest mistake God ever made is creating the so called Mohammed who laid the foundation of this bigot religion

El-Rufai and his crew will never know peace for fanning the flames of religious crisis...

The little midget is at it again

Goood

GODWINLOWSKI:

u went too far bro!
am not a Muslim, but that was really hash.

anyways, wat do I kn!

Islam, to me, is just a religion of mob action. They only start demanding for certain 'rights' whenever they are in overwhelming majority. Their values are like that of a mob or secret gang or secret occult group.
They like to claim "once in, no way out or no going back".
They preach in secret and dont want their doctrines questioned.
They claim a non-muslim can't understand the quran and thus monopolize its interpretation for forceful dominion.
They embrace violence to expand their gospel.
They maintain a secret pyramid system of knowledge dissemination.

Now, what manner of true God is so helpless that he will need all these methods to rule over a people loved?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. CAN is just trying to play the religious and political card here. The government has the right to know what's happening within its domain. This is exactly what the Rwandan government is doing. And it's paying off for them. Most of these religious bodies are scam.

1. How authentic is the source of this news?
2. I don't see anything wrong in a Government agency demanding that a church furnish it with all branches of the church in kaduna. This is within the constitutional power of the regional planning agency in kaduna
3. There is no where it was stated that kaduna Government intend to destroy the said church.
4. I think there should be a highly respected Christian leader in Laguna close to the Governor who could talk to the Governor and have his intention. Demonizing the Governor all the time is counterproductive
4. It is a fact that Churches and mosques have been left unregulated for so long in Nigeria. Each states of the federation have a master plan which are being ignored when constructions are made. Religious houses are being built every available space in Nigeria without strict adherence to initial plan. They have also abandoned their initial purpose of being named a non profit organization and become a profitable venture. Sensible Government should collect appropriate taxes from these religious organizations because these are making billions and using electricity, and other government infrastructures without paying taxes. Religious houses nationwide must as a matter of urgency be enlisted as a profit making ventures not otherwise and appropriate taxes, financial records must be furnished to Government organisation.

Nigerians are bunch of religious fellows who seem to consider the interests of their religious organisation ahead of national interest. This act of lack of patriotism need to be abolished for national development and prosperity. Nigeria should take advantage of the countless religious houses across the nation to generate huge billions in revenues and taxes. Revenue generating organisation hi using under the umbrella of ngos should be investigated and fined and defauters mutual be severely purnjsjed I'm accordance to the law. This way, some gos hiding under churches to enrich themselves and their generation by using church and mosque money will be effectively put in check.

Nackzy:
El Rufai is a terrorist

He will choke on his bigotry

Impossicant. He's too small to fight the church in Nigeria
