Boko Haram: Killing of a Pastor in Bauchi sparks protest in Edo State

The killing of a Pastor with the Nigeria Christian Graduate Fellowship in Bauchi by Boko Haram has sparked a protest by Christians in Edo state.

The late Pastor, Blessing Ehiorobo, hails from Edo State. And was until the ugly incident, serving in Bauchi State.

In a statement, the president of the NCGF, Mrs. Uche Chiejina said,

    “the killing of Pastor Blessing
     was barbaric, vexatious and
     unacceptable to the Christian
     community.”

The NCGF described the seeming attempt to Islamise some parts of the North by some Muslim fundamentalists as unacceptable- a situation, which has led to the murder of thousands of Christians and destruction of churches in that part of the country.
