A branch of the Living Faith
Church, popularly called the
Winners Chapel, in Giwa,
headquarters of Giwa Local
Government Area of Kaduna
State, has been set ablaze.
The church, founded by Bishop
David Oyedepo, was reportedly
set ablaze by two unidentified
arsonists.
During the incident that
happened on March 20, 2015 at
about 2:30pm, nothing was
saved from the church.
The burning of the church came
a few months after the reported
endorsement of President
Goodluck Jonathan by Oyedepo.
A terse statement issued on
Thursday in Abuja by the
President of Tarayyar
Masihiyawan Nijeria (Hausa,
Fulani and Kanuri Christians),
General Ishaku Ahmed Dikko
(rtd), and the Director of National
Issues of the Christian
Association of Nigeria, Sunny
Oibe, entitled: “Presidential
Elections 2015: Signs of what to
expect,” called on security
agencies to act fast to avoid
violence in the area.
According to Dikko and Oibe, the
Christians in the North,
particularly the Hausa, Fulani and
Kanuri speaking Christians, who
are indigenous in these states
and live within and among their
kith and kin, “are in serious
jeopardy”.
The statement reads in full:
“Giwa is the Headquarters of
Giwa Local Government Area of
Kaduna State. On Friday, 20
March, 2015 at about 2:30 pm,
two (2) unknown hoodlums on a
motorcycle drove into the
premises of Living Faith Church
(Winners Chapel) and set it
ablaze.
“The Church was razed to the
ground and nothing was saved
from the Church including the
building. This action surprised
the Christian Community
especially the Church members,
as there was no tension or any
sign of it between Christians and
Muslims in the town.
“It is, however, a known fact that
the people of the Local
Government have not been
friendly with the Christian
Community even though over 90
percent of them are of the same
Huasa-Fulani indigenes.
“The incident actually became
more worrisome when no effort
was made by a passersby to
assist in putting out the fire. In
fact, it was a Fulani herdsman
that saw the fire and reported to
the Police Station. Only one
Policeman and a Christian
volunteer that ran to the scene
and attempted to put out the fire
but of course could not achieve
anything.
“This situation and the
circumstances surrounding the
incidence are a cause of serious
concern. If this can happen more
than a week to the Presidential
Elections, what shall we expect
during or after the elections?
