On Sunday, the pastor in charge of the Living Faith church, aka Winners Chapel in the Daura Local government Area of the state, David Sarki said that the church service could not be held due to the incident.
He said; “Because the hoodlum took everything inside the church on the first day of the protest, they decided to worship at their various home cells.
“We have two security personnel working in the church; one was on duty while the other was off. When the protest began around 10:00 am, the hoodlums just diverted to the church. Many of them in Keke Napep broke the door and windows and entered the church auditorium.
“They took everything inside the church auditorium, including the wall digital clock, musical instruments, Pulpit, pastor’s chairs, plastic chairs, a desktop computer at the reception, and a scoreboard where the accountant usually kept church documents. They scattered everything.
“Three churches were their target. They succeeded in invading the Living Faith Church and Deeper Life but couldn’t access the third one, the Anglican Church, because of the robust protection at the gate.
“We informed the police and the army about it, and the police told us yesterday that they had made some arrests.
“I am surprised by this attack; when we are thinking about ending bad governance protests, which have now escalated to the invasion of churches, it is something that everyone should seriously condemn.
“My prayer for the perpetrators is that they should repent from what they are doing because for you to enter a church, a place of worship, is wrong, and you know you are not fighting, man. They should seek repentance. I know God is forgiving, and he will forgive them.”
