We attacked Niger state catholic church because members were disturbing us with music during Juma'at prayer- Suspect says

18 year old Abba Usman who has been arrested by the police
for allegedly participating in the July 15th attack by some
Muslim youths on St. Philips Catholic Church in Suleja, Niger
State, says himself and his group attacked the church
because the church members were playing their music so
loud which was disturbing them as they were holding their
Juma'at service at about the same time. Usman who is from
Manumfachi in Katsina State and has no fixed address, said
they attacked the church for having the effrontery to disturb
the peace of the mosque while prayers were going on.
“We went to the church to teach them a bitter lesson
so that they will never disturb the peace of the mosque
again, especially on a Friday when we are having a
prayer. They have the whole of Sunday to themselves
and we have never disturbed them from doing their
own programmes. “We all entered the church and
vandalised some of their property, while we took some
of their musical instruments and other valuables. I
went for two of the microphones with the aim of
selling them, but I was not lucky as I was caught with
them” he said while being paraded in Niger state.
