'Boko Haram Has Destroyed 50 Catholic Churches In Borno'

The Boko Haram has destroyed 50 of the 52 Catholic churches in Maiduguri Catholic diocese of Borno State.

This was revealed by the parish priest of Christ the King Catholic Parish, Kurudu, Abuja, Rev. Fr. Jerome Ituah (OCD) during church service yesterday.

Ituah, who was in Maiduguri during the week to give retreat to priests and bishop of the diocese, said it was sad to see Catholic faithful worshipping under the sun and rain because of the level of destruction and harm done by the sect.

"Out of the 52 catholic churches in Maiduguri diocese, 50 of them have been destroyed by Boko Haram. Yet the faithful are not discouraged of their faith. You would always see them worshipping under rain and sun in open places at the site of their destroyed places of worship".

Ituah however urged the Catholic community in Kurudu to always pray for their Maiduguri counterparts and elsewhere in northern Nigeria where there is insurgence so that God will intervene.
