Governor Nasir El Rufai of Kaduna state has directed the
immediate closure of two churches, a seminary and a church-owned hospitals and
secondary school in Saminaka, Lere Local Government Area of the State.
This
was contained in a statement signed by his spokesman, Samuel Aruwan on
Wednesday in Kaduna.
According
to Vanguard publication, the affected bodies are:
Theological Seminary of Northern Nigeria, (TSNN), Shalom Comprehensive College,
Assemblies of God Church, AGC, Assemblies of God Church (Jerusalem) and AGC
Evangelist Hospital, also in Saminaka.
El-Rufai
disclosed that the closure was to avoid the eruption of violence among factions
of the congregations whose leaderships’ positions he described as, “principally
to preserve their personal interests with little concern for the common good,
and the peace and security of Kaduna State”.
