State Govt moves to demolish 20 churches, schools in Maiduguri with Notices

apprehensions among Christians in Borno State following attacks by the Boko Haram Islamic sect has taken a new dimension as the state government intensifies efforts to demolish over 20 churches and schools built by the churches.

The development has therefore continued to fuel speculations about the desperation to Islamize the country beginning from Northern Nigeria.

Our correspondent reliably gathered that “the state government will embark on the demolition exercise any moment from now.”

Sources hinted that the Borno state government has already dispatched a notice to the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and owners of farmlands in the area, intimating them of the plan to acquire the structures for a 1000 housing units.

A leaflet from the office of the Borno State Ministry of Lands and Survey dated August 20 and signed by one Musa Ummate (O/C Land Administration) on behalf of the commissioner was obtained by journalists on Sunday in Abuja.

The leaflet is entitled: “Notice of Acquisition and assessment/valuation of structures on proposed site for 1000 Housing Units along Gubio Road Highway.”
