A group of Muslim youths, yesterday attacked St. Philip's Catholic Parish, Baki Iku, very close to Zuma Rock in Niger State.
The Muslims claimed that Friday is their day of prayer and that the Church only has right to worship on Sundays. Information gathered from eyewitnesses said that they destroyed the Church, wounded people and scattered the worshipers. Some soldiers managed to get there later but a lot of harm had been done already.
It should be recalled that Alhaji Kabiru Sokoto had on Christmas day four years ago, detonated bomb that killed several Catholics and passersby at St Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, close to St. Philips that was destroyed.
Just last week, Mrs Eunice Eze, a mobile preacher of the Redeemed Christian Church of God was killed by some fanatics.
