The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, has condemned the attack on Haske Baptist Church in Chikun LGA of the state, tagging it ‘the worst kind of evil’.
Recall that gunmen invaded the church on Sunday morning, killing one worshipper and abducting others.
In a statement by Samuel Aruwan, Commissioner for Internal Security, the governor said such invasion of the church represents evil in its worst form.
The statement reads, “Governor Nasir El-Rufai roundly denounced the attack on the church in Chikun LGA as a shocking act of depraved persons far-removed from humanity.
“The Governor added that attacking innocent worshipers who were exercising their natural and lawful right to assemble in worship, represented the worst kind of evil.
“The Governor sent heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and to the Haske Baptist Church.”
Meanwhile, the corpse of Abubakar Sarki Musa, a seven-year-old, was found at Hayin Danmani area, Rigasa, Igabi LGA, of Kaduna State.
Aruwan noted that one Saddique Umar, an 18-year-old resident of the area, confessed to killing the seven-year-old, “after luring the boy into the deserted building in a bid to steal a phone placed in his possession”.
Similarly, gunmen attacked Bagoma village in Birnin Gwari LGA, killing six residents.
Aruwan said “the governor prayed for the repose of the souls of the slain in all the attacks”, and also wished the injured victim a speedy recovery.
