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 has already been done to the building, while the Christians ran away in different directions to avoid being killed.
