See Photos of The “Destroyed Catholic Church” Wrecked By Muslims Youth
A few days after a female pastor in the Redeem Christian Church of
God, Mrs. Eunice Olawale, was brutally killed by suspected Muslim
extremists, about 200 Muslim youths on Friday attacked St. Philip’s
Catholic Parish, Baki Iku, which is very close to Zuma Rock in Niger
State, for worshipping on Friday.
According to eyewitnesses, some Catholics had gone to the church to
pray and were attacked by the Muslims who claimed that Friday is their
day of prayer and that the Church only has right to worship on Sundays.
Information gleamed from eyewitnesses said that the invaders destroyed Church properties, including doors and windows.
Although some soldiers managed to get there later, however, a lot of
damage been done to the building, while the Christians ran away in
different directions to avoid being killed.
Rev Fr. Luka Sylvester Gopep, the Vicar-General of the Diocese confirmed the incident.
According to him: “Sometime around 2pm, some Muslim youths in
their hundreds 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 a 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 stated.
Just last week, Mrs Olawale, a mobile preacher of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God was killed by some fanatical Muslims in Kubwa,
FCT.
