<\/p>\n

The Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, has said that the continued stay of Leah Sharibu with Boko Haram insurgents was a clear indication that Christian are facing persecution because of their faith in Christ.<\/p>\n

This is just as the church said there is a strong attempt to eliminate Christians in the Northeast using insurgency.<\/p>\n

Rev. Dr Stephen Gana made the observation in Dass, Bauchi state Tuesday during ECWA Northeast pastor\u2019s conference.<\/p>\n

He said the federal government was insincere, insensitivity and careless in curbing insurgency in the northeast region especially towards the rescue of Leah from Boko Haram insurgent<\/p>\n

\u201d Leah\u2019s abduction by the insurgents testifies FG\u2019s involvement in crime against Christian in the Northeast region, \u201d he said, describing Leah\u2019s suffering as \u2018 joy in Christ\u2019<\/p>\n

Gana added that the current division, corruption and disaster have bastardised the country and the church in its entirety.<\/p>\n

He warned that Christians will resist any move to further kidnap their members by insurgents in the region.<\/p>\n

Gana, therefore, asked for restrain and peace in Nigeria ahead of the 2019 election.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
