KADUNA – No fewer than 10,000 people marched in Zonkwa, headquarters of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State denouncing and condemning the Christmas Day bombing of a church in Madalla, near Suleja, Niger State, where about 30 people were killed and several others injured.
The protesters called for a united action against terrorism, insisting that God had a divine purpose for creating Nigeria, and as such, the country must not be allowed to be destroyed by evil men posing as champions of religion.
Speaking after the three kilometre procession at the Zonkwa play ground, Chairman Zangon Kataf Council of the Christian Association of Nigeria , CAN, Rev. Sunday Ibrahim, said that God did not create man for another man to kill with satanic pleasure in the guise of fighting for God.
Said Ibrahim: “In Madalla, unarmed men, women and children were praying to God and were without provocation bombed. That was just one of the several terrorism acts carried out on churches by people who hate God and his children.
“They kill people with satanic pleasure to please, certainly, not our God. God has a divine purpose for every human being. God has a divine purpose for the creation of Nigeria.
“No man has a right to kill any man. God did not allow Nigeria to be created for someone to destroy. Christians and all those who believe in peace must speak up against terrorism. If you don’t stand up against terrorism, one day you would stand on the Judgment day and face your creator”, he said.”
Probably what we need, more aggressive protests perhaps, until something positive is done.
