The Borno State government are planning to demolish at least 20 churches and Christian schools in Maiduguri after acquiring land they say they want to use for a 1000-unit housing estate.
Demolition notice has been served to the present occupants of the acquired land, which includes owners of farmlands and several churches and schools built by churches. The state government have already dispatched a notice to the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN)
Some people feel like the government isn't really planning to build any housing estate, just looking for an excuse to destroy the churches and private schools, with the alleged grand plan of gradually islamising the state as part of an alleged wider plan to Islamise the northern part of Nigeria.
An information leaflet on the acquisition plan from the State Ministry of Lands and Survey has been released.
GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
