A report released by the Kaduna State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Tuesday has revealed that not less than 23 pastors have been killed by bandits while over 200 churches were shut down in the past four years.
The state Chairman CAN, Rev Joseph Hayab, who presented the report to the Commissioner of Police, CP Musa Garba during a meeting between the police and clergymen drawn from different denominations from the 23 councils in the state, lamented that the Church had gone through difficult times due to the activities of bandits in the state.
“In four years, the church has come under severe attacks by bandits and other criminal elements in Kaduna State where we lost 23 pastors and over 200 churches were shut down,” Hayab said.
