A church in Port Harcourt, Christ Church, together with the Lay Faithful Foundation and some Christians have put a smile on the faces of 14 widows and many residents of Tsaunin Mayau community in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna with cash donation and other relief materials.
According to Pastor Bosun Emmanuel, a spokesman for the Lay Faithful Trust Foundation, “Tsaunin Mayau was attacked for the third time by Fulani terrorists on 27th March 2022.”
He adds, in a statement, “The terrorists came on 50 motor bikes. Each motor bike carried three armed men in an unprovoked and unwarranted attack against the 96% Christian community.
“At the end of the mayhem, Tsaunin Mayau suffered the following losses:
•20 unarmed Christians were killed
•9 houses were burnt
•ECWA Church was burnt
•150 head of cattle rustled
•Goats and sheep were stolen
•Vehicles and motorcycles of the residents were burnt
•Food storage was destroyed
“Some kind-hearted people responded immediately after the attack and provided foodstuff to the survivors. Unfortunately, the food stuff was reportedly intercepted by some unscrupulous government officials, and it did not get to the affected people.
“During the attack, no single security personnel came to the rescue of the people. The residents also reported that after the attack, no Government official appeared to empathize with them.
“In August 2022, Lay Faithful Trust Foundation was able to go directly to the community and provided the following assistance to the affected brethren:
▪️Rice
▪️Beans
▪️Maize
▪️Palm oil
▪️Vegetable oil
▪️N5,000 cash donation to 14 widows each.”
Emmanuel thanked the Christ Church, Port Harcourt, and many of kind-hearted and generous Christians for donating funds for the relief project.
He prayed, “God bless you and reward you abundantly. Thank you for supporting the persecuted Christians. You are touching lives.”
He also published the bank details for those who may be willing to helping persecuted Christians.”Bank Details:
