The Baptist Church at Gidan Maso
village in Rogo Local Government
Area of Kano State has been set
ablaze and the residence of the
Pastor, Rev Habila Garba, burnt by
irate youths.
As a result of the fire, one of the
Pastor’s daughters died of
suffocation and most parts of the
house destroyed.
The incident happened on April 1 at
about 7.30pm, barely one week after
a similar attack on a branch of the
Living Faith World Outreach Mission,
popularly called Winners Chapel, in
Giwa, headquarters of Giwa LGA of
Kaduna State by two unidentified
arsonists.
The President of ‘Tarayyar
Masihiyawan Nijeria’ (Hausa, Fulani
and Kanuri Christians), Maj. Gen.
Ishaku Dikko (retd), said on Tuesday
in Abuja that the intention was to
kill one youth, Yahaya Joshua, who
converted to Islam but later reverted
to Christianity.
He said, “They also attacked and
wounded Bawa Adamu and Aminu
Dauda, who received machet cuts
leading to broken arms. Others
received similar wounds but of lesser
degrees. The cause of the barbaric
act was to kill one youth, Yahaya
Joshua, who converted to Islam but
later on reverted to Christianity.
“The youth had escaped on learning
of the plan to kill him. They
therefore set the church and Pastor’s
house on fire and went about
maiming and wounding any
Christians they saw. The incidence
was immediately reported to the
Police and the District Head at
Rogo.”
Dikko said no information had been
received about any action taken or if
any arrests were made, adding
however that all the people, who
were wounded “know and can
identify their attackers by name
since they all live in the same
village.”
According to him, the church and all
its property were burnt down in the
presence of the Christian community,
despite all pleadings for them to
stop the destruction.
He added, “The arsonists gathered
cornstalks and put inside the
Church in order to cause greater
damage. This made the action
seemed deliberate and for ulterior
motives. The Christians present
exhibited great Christian qualities
by not taking the laws into their
hands by trying to stop them by
force.
“Rather than the arsonists to see
reason, they were infuriated, which
led to setting the house of the
Pastor, Rev. Habila Garba, ablaze as
well. As a result of the fire, one of
the Pastor’s daughters died of
suffocation and most of the house
destroyed.”
