From Nigeria-
THE Bishop of Gusau Anglican Diocese, Zamfara State, the Right Reverend John Danbinta, has said that Christians in the northern part of the country live in daily fear of being killed through the brute force of anti-Christian elements.
Bishop Danbinta spoke on Thursday in a sermon at the opening of the first session of the 10th Synod of Remo Anglican Diocese.
It is being hosted and sponsored solely by the matriarch of the Awolowo dynasty, Chief (Mrs) HID Awolowo, and held at Our Saviour’s Church, Ikenne Remo, Ogun State.
The cleric disclosed that it was becoming increasingly difficult for Christians to openly carry the Bible in some areas in the North.
Although he did not mention such places, the Kaduna-born bishop said he had had nasty experiences of hostility against adherents of the Christian faith in Kano and Zamfara states, where he is currently a bishop.
“Those of you who are Christians in the South here do not know what it really means to be Christians. In the North, we live daily preparing to be killed for the sake of Jesus Christ. And we suffer a lot for Christ sake.
