Some suspected hoodlums
have set a church building, a branch of the Living Faith Ministry
ablaze in Jibia local government area of Katsina State.
It was learnt that authorities of the church and residents around the
church area had been reluctant to publicise the incident which happened
last Saturday to avoid negative public reaction on the issue, according
to report from National Mirror.
Sources said the church had come under similar attack in 2011 during the
post-election violence when a group of angry youths stormed its
premises and set it ablaze.
One of the church members, who didn’t want his name in print, said they
came to church early next day Sunday, only to find ashes and smoke where
the church building had been standing.
He said the church members had held a programme few days before, and had
used a generating set as the building was not connected to public
electricity.
He described the incident as a “sad development,” adding that the police
had been alerted on the matter and had promised to investigate
circumstances that led to the incident.
The police spokesperson, ASP Sadiq Abubakar, after call and text
messages to his mobile line, was yet to respond at the time of filing
this report.
