BUSTED! Christian Man Disguises As Mallam To Go Burn Down Church

A deadly tribal war that could have led to series of counter attacks and avoidable loss of innocent lives almost started this week, if not for providence. According to what I gathered, a middle aged man (names withheld) disguised in kaftan and turban, was arrested while...
attempting to set ablaze a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of Church (RCCG) in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.

A senior official of the State Security Service (SSS) in Yenagoa confirmed the unfortunate incident. He however disclosed that upon interrogation, it was discovered that the suspect has no connection with the radical Boko Haram sect as he was a Christian from Edo State.

The SSS official said: “There is nothing like bombing of a Church in Bayelsa State. What actually happened was that a man was arrested while attempting to burn down a Church. The man is said to have confessed to the Church of being an armed robber and the Church promised to rehabilitate him and paid his house rent for two years.

“When his rent expired, he went back to the Church demanding for additional House rent and the Church said they only promised to pay his rent for two years for him to find a job and be on his own. So the man decided to go back to the Church, attempted to burn down the Church yesterday (Tuesday evening) and was arrested. We have handed him over to the police.”

If this guy had succeeded with his wicked plan, he would have deceived many into believing that the attack on the Church was carried out by Boko Haram... May God save us from the enemy within!

Besides boko haram always claims responsibilities for their acts
so if this man has succeeded and as it turns out that he is not a member of boko haram, they (bh) would have denied it

Nigeria lives in the dark. She has more dark side than one could see
but
Nigerians, at least, the southerners are way more intelligent, civilized and experienced to be driven by deception by the Hausa/Fulani Oligarchy or the Muslim blood sucking generation of Boko Haram.

Remember the story about the prostitute who tried to burn down a church in Bauchi state?. so my broda any thing can happen

Remember her story here: //www.gistmania.com/talk/topic,77181.0.html  ?



Catch the full gist:


Quote
The police in Bauchi State are currently trying to unravel the circumstances surrounding penultimate Saturday’s attempt by a “jilted” love bird, one Lydia Joseph, to set St John’s Catholic Church located near the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadiun in Bauchi, the state capital, on fire, claiming that she did it as a result of the frustration of being jilted by a member of the church who used to be her boyfriend.
Lydia, a mother of two, who used to be a prostitute, according to the catechist of the church, Mr John Daniel, walked into the church at about 12: 30p.m. penultimate Saturday, holding a gallon of petrol but told the security men at the gate of the church that the gallon contained kerosene and that she came to pray in the church and was allowed in.

Narrating what happened, the catechist said he was at the priest house in the church compound when he heard shouts and came out to see what was happening, adding that, “When I came out she had run out of the compound but as God would have it, the member who saw her chased and caught her,” adding that the member who was praying in the church as at the time Lydia entered informed that after entering the church, she poured petrol on the pew inside the church and lit a lighter after which she ran out, having “accomplished” her mission but the member raised an alarm.
“We rushed in and put off the fire,” he said. “Fortunately for us, a man praying in the church saw her and shouted that the gates should be locked. But many people, including the security men did not understand and before the gate was locked, she had run out and he followed her and arrested her.”
Speaking with journalists at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Bauchi State Police Command headquarters in Bauchi, the 33-year-old suspected
arsonist, who is from Oturkpo, Benue State , did not deny making an attempt to raze the church but stated that she was under “spiritual attack”. She said that she fell in love with a member of the church, one Dominic, with whom she was staying as a live-in lover before he called off the relationship, which she said was on the advice of his friend, one Sunday.
“Though we were not married, we lived like a couple. People called me his wife and also called him my husband,” Lydia said of her relationship with the said Dominic, adding that, “but his friend Sunday broke our relationship. His reason for breaking our relationship was that I used charm on Dominic.They wanted me to leave, so they started drugging my food. I became sick and when I went to the hospital, the doctors discovered it. Dominic said he did not want me again.”
She informed that she met Dominic when members of the Charismatic Renewal Ministry of the church she attempted to burn came to the brothel where she was plying her trade as a commercial sex hawker at Bayan Gari area of Bauchi metropolis on visits to preach to her and other prostitutes, adding that their efforts made an impact on her as she started to fellowship with them. “Gradually, I started paying back their visits and I also started attending the church with them,” she said. This, according to her, made her to stop being a prostitute after which she fell in love with Dominic. Their relationship, she said, lasted for about four years before Dominic left her.
Frustrated that her relationship with Dominic fell through, Lydia said she attempted burning the church after being attacked spiritually by members of the same group that liberated her from prostitution. “They started attacking me spiritually and they sent me to go and burn the church,” she declared.
However, state Commissioner of Police, Mr Ikechukwu Ayo Aduba, told newsmen that Lydia , currently being detained at the headquarters, was being investigated by the police to know whether she was working for any group, adding that she would soon undergo a psychiatrist test to ascertain the state of her mental health.
Giving the account of what happened, Aduba said, “She went to the church with a lighter and a gallon of petrol and set some of the chairs in the church on fire before being caught. If not for the quick intervention of some well-meaning Nigerians who saved her, the woman would have been lynched.”
Reacting to the incident, the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the North-East zone of the country, Reverend Ishaya Byal said Lydia ’s action was embarrassing, more so that she was a Christian, adding that as a Christian, she was not supposed to perpetrate such an act.
“We do not expect a fellow Christian to carry out this kind of act, but it has been happening in recent times. It is shameful. Christians are supposed to be the light to the world,” Reverend Byal told journalists in Bauchi.
He was of the opinion that churches in the zone needed to be extra vigilant at this time that Nigeria was facing tough security challenges with bomb explosions rocking almost everywhere and called on churches and Christians to be more security conscious at this time.
