The operative attached to the Borno Geographic Information Service (BOGIS) that was on a demolition exercise demolished this church building last week and the church members worshipped in the demolished building yesterday.
It was reported that an operative of Borno civilian task force allegedly killed a protester during the demolition of Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa Nigeria (EYN) church in Moduganari area of Maiduguri.
The operative is attached to the Borno Geographic Information Service (BOGIS) that was on a demolition exercise at the church.
Although the governor had ordered an immediate investigation into the incident, Shawulu Ndahi, the pastor in charge of the church, said the state government must assist the family of the deceased.
“Yesterday morning at about 11am, we received a distress call that some officials of BOGIS in company of some CJTF and graders came and demolished our church with all facilities destroyed,” he said.
“In the process, some of our aggrieved members started hurling stones at the officials of BOGIS, before some CJTF members opened fire after seizing their communication gadgets, which led to the killing of Mr. Ezekiel Bitrus. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
“In view of these unwholesome conduct, we are hereby displaying all our certificate of occupancy and other relevant documents used in acquiring this land which are legal documents.
