Christians in Gbagyi Villa, a 100% Christian community in Kaduna State came out on Thursday, 17th March, 2016 to stage a protest against the ongoing tyranny and the persecution of the Kaduna State APC governor, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai; who has marked all their buildings including all the churches in their community for demolition. After the marking El-Rufai gave the Christian community 21 days ultimatum to remove their buildings or he will demolish those buildings and the owner of the buildings will pay the state government for the demolition exercise. He hinged his order on a false allegation that the people don’t have planning permit. Whereas, most of them came out with their planning permit as well as their receipts of payments. The Persecution is still ongoing as at the time of this report.
Arise News Reporter that covered the protest reported as follows:
Arise News reporter that was at the scene of the protest could not control his tears as some women were seen rolling on the ground screaming “Is it a crime to be a Christian in Kaduna under APC now? El-Rufai leave us alone.”
Uncontrollable tears was streaming down my eyes as I heard the agony of some Christian widows.
Another group of Christian women were also chanting, “El-Rufai, leave us alone, El-Rufai, leave us alone.”
Old women were not left out. They also stormed the protest venue to join the protest.
A very old woman who spoke in Hausa language screamed in Hausa. This is the interpretation of her agony: “If El-Rufai is ready to crush our only hope, which is the buildings that our husbands have left for us, then it is better we die on the road protesting than wait for El-Rufai to come and pull down our buildings just because we are Christians. What are other Christian bodies doing to rescue us?” She asked in tears.
