Some youths in Kantangan Wargi, headquarters of Warji Local Government Area of Bauchi state have launched a man haunt for another Christian lady barely two weeks after Sokoto student killed Deborah Samuel over alleged blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad
As reported, an unidentified lady posted a video of someone who renounced Islam on a WhatsApp group and this post did not go well with her co-workers who are mostly Muslims.
Luckily for the girl, she was kept safe by fellow Christians who knew about the upcoming danger.
But this did not go well with the Muslim youth as they came out to destroy properties belonging to Christians after Jumma prayers on Friday.
"We were at home Friday evening when we heard shouts from Muslim youths in their hundreds wanting to attack the ECWA church but Christian youths and others resisted and repelled them but after they had already set the shops attached to the church on fire,” a member of the ECWA church, who pleaded anonymity said.
He added: “In the process, one of the pastors of the ECWA Church was seriously wounded as I am speaking to you, efforts are on to save his life as he lost much blood due to the injuries inflicted on him.”
He however pleaded with the Christian community in the State not to allow the situation to degenerate into a full-blown crisis.
As at the time of this report, the Police of Bauchi is yet to confirm the incident
Ahmed Wakili, the Police Spokesman did not pick up his calls or SMS by the Nation
