WHY WE CANNOT KEEP SILENCE ON CHRISTIAN MISSION 2020 IN NIGERIA.

Office of the Ameer “Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evils, and they desire that you should disbelieve.” Quran 60:2 One thing has to be known, Muslims are peace loving people and that is the nature of our religion. But in a situation where our lives are at stake, we just have to call our attention to it in order to prevent the alarm from being blown because it is what had happened to other neighbouring Muslims which we have also witnessed. And Yoruba adage will say, “Iku to n pa ojugbe eni owe lo n pa fun ni” (The death of one’s close associate is a proverb for all his friends.) For quite some time, there have been numerous cases of Christians involved in terrorist related acts, but such cases were never investigated. In 2010, the Punch Newspaper reported the arrest of Five (5) Pastors “for operating an Illegal Military outfit” (a Euphemism for terrorist activity, since the word is exclusively reserved for Muslims), in Lagos, with their photographs published at page 11 of the Wednesday edition, 10th March, 2010. CAN Military operatives were also arrested by the police “for operating illegal security outfit” in Jalingo, Taraba State. Those arrested included Reverend Chaplain Shehu Yakubu- a retired customs officer, Sunday Silas- a retired SSS officer, Sulaiman Audu- a retired ASP, Y. Winew- a retired ASP, Isma’ila Makaniki and many others. This was reported by the Daily Trust Newspaper of Saturday, 2nd November, 2013 at page 10. In the same paper, at Page 8, was another report, “Police nab woman, 2 others over militia training in Gombe”, in which one Mrs. Deborah Babayo and two men were reportedly arrested by the Gombe Police Command “for conducting illegal militia training under the auspices of an illegal organization, called “The Elite Corps” on the outskirts of Gombe, on 1st November, 2013. In Plateau State, in March 2012, a Christian wearing Military Uniform, later identified as a member of the COCIN Church, was lynched while trying to escape after the bombing of the same Church headquarters in Jos. A few days later, on Sunday 25th March, 2012, the Special Task Force (STF) paraded one Mr. Alex Danladi, who was caught wearing army camouflage, along with one Mr. Dung Bulus, a well known fabricator of guns, and some others the authorities said were students of the University of Jos. A few weeks later, on 10th April, 2012 one Mr. Monday Davou was arrested, caught red handed, planting a timed improvised explosive device (IED), at the Makera weekly market in Riyom Local Government Area, Plateau State. This was evidently aimed at committing mass murder and attributed it to Boko Haram In Lagos, the Saturday Sun newspaper of 10th March, 2012, at page 10, reported that 11 cartons of explosives imported from South Africa, which were carefully packaged to beat security checks, where intercepted by the Nigerian Customs Service at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport, Lagos. The huge consignments were for Miero Marble Granite and Stones Ltd, in Kaduna State, with one Mr. Micheal Awara Ernest as the Company representative to collect the explosives at the Cargo terminal. The statement of the Customs Area commandant at the Airport, Mr. Charles Eporwei Edike, which was profoundly insightful on the intent and probable consequences of the explosive, fell on the deaf ears of the SSS. He said “if those items were released, they could have been used to cause mayhem. We are now going to hand him and the items over to the Police for further investigation”. Well, since the handover, neither the Police nor the Spokeswoman of the almighty SSS had said, or done anything on it. In Gombe State, there was a report on the arrest of Christian men that sprayed bullets on the Gombe Deeper Life Church worshippers. Igbos were the suspects arrested who were reportedly taken to Abuja. Shortly thereafter, two Christians, Hassan Ojudu and Sama’ila Yakubu were arrested with a vehicle loaded with explosive devices and ammunitions. Curiously, they too were reportedly taken to Abuja Finally, on specific factual examples, was a BBC news report published by THISDAY Newspaper of Friday, 13th January, 2012 on page 6, on a British arms dealer, Gary Hyde being prosecuted in a London court for unlawfully arranging the shipment of about 80,000 guns and 32Million rounds of ammunition from China to Nigeria in 2007. Obviously, it was not meant for Muslim because if it was, the BBC, CNN and the Nigerian Media would have kept harping on it. Apart from being involved in all these terrorist activities, the Christians (though not all) in Nigeria are in for another bomb shell called CHRISTIAN MISSION 2020 with international backing, aiming at dividing Nigeria into three regions if not more than that with Christians taking over the three South. In fact, the states of our Nation today have proved its possibility unless if we are deceiving ourselves. Our fear is only on Muslims who are in deep slumber. No one is advocating for war or division of the country (God forbid) but if eventually comes as they are planning it, what will be the fate of Muslims?
