Disturbing news …

Nationally:

Rev.Ibrahim has written:
‘Recently, there were several attacks by the suspected Boko Haram members on the poor farmers in the rural setting of Sanga Local Government.  It is in the southern part of Kaduna state and shares a boundary with the northern part of Nasarawa state.  The area is predominantly Christian.  Sad to note here that the government of Kaduna state gave them little attention in terms of emergency help.  Many kept dissociating these attacks from having religious affiliation but it is clear that no Mosque was destroyed in the Sanga attacks or a Muslim family attacked.  With all glory to God, the Christian community did not mount a revenge mission. This is in line with the teaching of the scripture.’

Locally:

We, (Rev.Ibrahim’s family), woke up on the 23th July to hear about two bomb blasts in the city of Kaduna – where we live.  One of the blasts targeted a renowned Islamic Scholar (Sheik Dahiru Bauchi). He is one of the Liberal scholars who advocates for peaceful Islam. The other blast targeted the former Military leader and leader of the greatest opposition party in Nigeria.  Both of them are Muslims and have a lot of followers.  These incidents changed the interpretations of our insurgency challenge in Nigeria. If not for divine intervention, test events could have plunged our state into confusion and clear crises..
