Ohaneze should warn CAN men of merchant

I've been expecting this news since his statement.

...CAN is it IPOB that did it?

💔

Gunmen as how? Even the deaf and the blind know that those gunmen are religion's men, Mohammed men and jihadist men.

Gunmen abi? Not unknown gun men right? These ones are just gunmen. So they are known abi? Nonsense!!!

Na wa o

Hmm, the government is silent until something worse happens. This is part of the extremists agenda to threaten other religions.

God didn't come down to save Biafra during the first civil war, if una like sit down and be praying that God will come and save u...heaven help those who help themselves...gbam

The whirlwind of political uncertainties is beginning to give rise to fatal rainfall.

The adage that it is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong is getting cristal clear in Bishop Kukah's travails.

The hitherto gathering storm of uncertainties and veiled threats are beginning to take a recognizable shape. The Pontifex must act fast and redeploy Bishop Kukah before the real plot unfolds.

The hand of Issau and the voice of Jacob. Hope Garba Shehu will be satisfied with this piece of information.

CAN won’t say a word . Kukah go to Rome

Gunmen in the south should invade mosques also

This one will generate noise from hypocrites down south.

Let us just break in peace or let the church armed herself......this is a war cocktail

Where are the Otellectuals? Ngwa, gather here. Come quick oh! IPOB has gone to Kukah's church to kidnap some priests. Oh! Sorry, my mistake, priest-nap. I mean IPOB has priest-napped some priests from Kukah's church. Ngwa! where are you all? Let the chorus begin. 1, 2, go!

Attack against the church. Too bac

Kukah is a partisan politicians who love playing ethnic & religious politics

Ipob northern branch 😊😊

This is Jihad building up gradually in Nigeria again Christianity in d country.Their objective is to islamize this nation and take possession of the land all over.

Disgraceful journalism as usual from . The Catholic church is not Kukah's Church but it's clear what your intentions are.

I pity the authorities, under which the Church of the Living God is assaulted! Even under Adolf Hitler, the church of God was NEVER assaulted! Holy God, your will be done. You are too much for any Man to deal with. Your will be done.

Ask MBuhari and his fulani masters they know about it.

Christians in Nigeria are much more than Muslims, both Muslims tend to assume otherwise, they confuse themselves about context, you cant separate 30/40% Christian population in the north mixed with Muslims and think you are bigger

I hope British government is listening and not covering the atrocities by boko haram fulani herdsmen and iswap FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow humanity StandUp4HumanRights FreeBiafra biafraExit

The problem as never been religion conflict but Ethnic conflict, if the government of the day can't provide security and peace to the country, let them divide the country, each ethnic groups should be given the choice to join who they want to join, or better Divide it into 4 or 6

Why? The pope will come and free them!

Here we go again..... Nigeria Deserve More Information: 1. Name of the Catholic Church & its location in Sokoto State? 2. Names of the Priests kidnapped 3. Names of others kidnapped The above can assist this journalistic work & help the citizenry give info to Security Agencies...

IkukuomaC renoomokri hope u go carry this one for head?

Nigeria can never be in unity, no matter how you try to cover it. if you like get the best president in Nigeria, Nigeria can never ever be in peace, if you want to know more ask the northern fulani politicians and their terror organizations and their agenda (must be achieved)

Politics is getting involved

Dear. Bishop Mathew Hassan Kuka, and CAN Out of the Seven (6) northerners brutally killed yesterday in Anambra state by IPOB/ESN terrorists, three (3) are Christians from the North.

Failed country still.

CCSoludo kennizglobal we need Biafra, we can't continue like this. They are killing everywhere in Biafralands. BIAFRA is the only solution so that we can secure t our Borders

Is it still IPOB or ESN doing this. People should understand that the Gunmen and Unknown gunmen issues is all political related.

I pity who don't know Muslim plans for nigeria 🏃‍♀️

He is a target and he knows it. Buhari is turning a blind 👁 as usual

The people who defend religion more than their communities have struck again!

Punch thunder fire una with such a inciting headline. In this fragile moment in our history you have chosen to create more tension in the land.

bulamabukarti how far?

NkemdiMary They are Northen Elders Forum and not Gunmen.

Okey81457712 Is IPOB

How fa... It's better the government push for a referendum.. Let's just know where we're facing. Nigeria is long overdue for separation. Let's stop deceiving ourselves with PVC. Nothing is changing soon.

GGM (Government Gun Men)

NigeriaGov controls the gunmen. It's written all over the wall. But guess what ? Power will shift. amnestyusa hope you all are seeing it.?

The FG is a jihadists government and doing all to islamise nigeria instead we grow stronger; our warfare is not canal, not by sword nor gun.

It has finally happened, some yeye Fulani have started again oo

Gun men indeed.

Gunmen right? I hope you guys know those people who did that but now tagged them gunmen.

OTUNBA_CHELSEA Aren't they stupid trying to cause a religious war by this useless action?

They don't want this election to hold I guess... 😁 😁

They don't want to live the north

If this happened in the east you will be singing IPOB name as the culprit

Buhari polluted Nigeria with gunmen and killing

That's one zoo terrorist darkness country call Nigeria for you, Fulani terrorist continue kill one Nigeria suporter first because I no that they still killing people support one Nigeria right now

Shey No b Ethnic War i dey look 👀 Soo b dis 😭😭😭😭

Ayuwa! It has started - an Islamic 'clerorist' incited his members to locate Kukah following DeborahYakubu's killing and NigSSS didn't do anything about it. I don't understand why we wait for disasters to happen in this country before we set up panel of inquiry🤦🏾‍♂️

Buhari, the only thing he brought to Nigeria is killers everywhere, some people are not ashamed of associating with him

Maybe this one is IPOB

This' crazy 💔

That’s the system the PO people insisted he’s the only can fix. Rotten, bad country that needs dissolution

Thank you Nigeria 🇳🇬 for justifying once again on why we want Biafra and not continue to be in a Zoo. FreeMaziNnamdiKanu

Funny how some people think they own Nigeria. Pitiable country.

Gun men abeg Make una rest joie

May God protect him

savndaniel Cc BashirAhmaad ShehuSani

Not fathers kukah church punch. Redirect your caption appropriately ( Catholic church archdiocese of Sokoto

Why don't mention IPOB kidnap them. Mad zoo media

Hmmmm.....

EU and US Catholics are watching

The best thing for Kukah to do is to leave Sokoto b4 these miscreants carry out the assignment of their sponsor on him

That's how deep our histories are. Sadly, today,We even kill each other because of the differences in the stories... Nigerians ought to study the real facts rather than feed our belief systems with lies that are based on the opinions of other nations causing conflicts

Lol

Religion has kept most people in ignorance of the truth because it does not have history or knowledge of this country before a few hundred years ago, if Nigeria wrote her story, both Bible and the Quran would be few verses in it.

They'll now turn it into religion issues, how many times that gunmen invade in mosque? How many times gunmen invade a whole village and killed innocent people.

kaluemeka89 In the north, the terrorists are called gunmen/ bandits, what a wonderful name, but in East, all the media will call them IPOB without investigation. I hope the masses will get to see the video of the criminals if arrested.. Kuka is unstable and unshakable.

Its high time Christians begin to fight back in all these

Long overdue.... The barbarians were even patients with him.. May Nigeria never survive this tsunami Amen. God bless Biafra the land of the rising Sun Amen

You guys are pushing it too far ooo nothing should happen to the bishop

Nigéria Govt doing what they do best..we have fail ourself by electing Buhari.he is so clueless that his people are doing a lot of damage in his name.

Desecration of the house of our God... This is pure blasphemy and possibly the perpetrators are known, rather they choose to cover them with 'Gunmen'... We understand 😔😔😔

Lugardian contraption indeed🤦

IPOB at work as usual

My advice to Christians is to relocate from sokoto and it’s environs…these shits ain’t stopping soon

Kukah is high profile target. He should security conscious at all times

Hmmmm, terrible news everyday, may God heal.

See, let nothing happen to that man oh

Nigerian government sponsoring thugs to provoke religious war and tribal war, make we open our eyes

What are we still doing in this land alled Nigeria?

Divide this contraption to save life's....

Government-sponsored gunmen.

This are not Muslims these are thugs created by the government, we should open our eyes, I’m igbo and will not blame this on religion or tribe!!

What a country, I hope nothing happens to him.

Nigeria is now a country of lawlessness

Lord of mercy! Hope this won't lead to tears again.

Are we sure it's not the killers of Deborah Samuel that are masquerading as Gun Men ?

Again!Please stop all this.

Let nothing happens the bishop kukah
