The Kaduna State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria has raised the alarm over a purported eviction order handed down to one of its churches in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The Kaduna State Urban Planning Development Agency allegedly served the 100-year-old St. George Anglican Church, Sabon Gari, Zaria, the seven-day notice which it claimed was a directive from the state governor.
“However you are hereby directed to vacate your residence within seven days from now, failure to comply will leave the agency with no option but evict you at your own expense .” But the state CAN chairman, Rev. Joseph Hayab, in a statement on Thursday in Kaduna, faulted the eviction order. The chairman in the statement entitled, “Governor Nasir el-Rufai should call KASUPDA to order,” partly stated, “We are alarmed and apprehensive about this, if it is true that it is a directive from the governor. But we doubt much if the governor issued the directive.
“It should be noted that the church which was founded about 100 years ago, was liberal enough to allow the market in question to operate in some parts of its land. Is it now a crime to be liberal and accommodating?“How could the governor revisit the issue which was resolved amicably in 2016, by issuing a seven-day quit order. We suspect that this could be the handiwork of some people who do not mean well for Kaduna State.
