Mr Emmanuel Bileya, pastor of Christian Reformed Church, Nigeria and his wife, Juliana were found dead, with gunshot wounds on their farm in Mararaba, Donga local government area of Taraba state.
The couple were reportedly working on their farm when they were killed by unknown gunmen.
Reacting to the sad incident, Taraba state governor, Darius Ishaku expressed shock over the recent killings in Southern Taraba communities and condemned the killing of the cleric and his wife.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Bala Dan Abu, Ishaku described the latest killing as wicked and inhuman.
He said, “killings of this nature have happened too often recently in Southern Taraba communities and it is unhelpful to the on-going efforts of government to achieve lasting peace among communities in the area.”
He sympathized with the surviving members of Pastor Bileya’s immediate and extended families as well as pastors and members of CRC-N in Mararaba where he served until his death.

God rest their souls
ReplyDeleteIt's not enough to condemn the killings and sympathize with the affected family members in mere words.
DeleteDo something more, fish out the killers and make them pay for their evil doing.
I don't know why government that has resources at their disposal will just choose to do nothing and start wailing along with the people who they ought to be serving and protecting.
Sometimes I wish we were in the era where the gods of the land were still active to tidy anybody would go about breaking the laws of the society.
I heard that then, there was law and order nothing as little as petty stealing. Everybody was well behaved bcuz of fear of wrath.
But now everyone takes God's patience and mercy for granted. People now think since all sins are sins and same punishment will be meted to all sinner, they do evil without looking back.
Something they couldn't do before now. Only God can understand the madness that is happening in this world.
May God protect us from evil.
@Original Shugargirl Yeah I agree with you
DeleteThe government doesn't provide for you, you go to your farm to even provide what you can eat yet you arent even safe in your own farm.
DeleteWhat is the use of this Nigeria? I really want to understand it, why? For what reason? Buhari isn't even saying everything.
Even with this lock down, people are still getting killed, this is unfair. We need to revolt just like America, they need to take us serious.
Exactly. Do something me governor. I'm tired of this their " I condemn, I condemn". Hiss
DeleteMay their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace, Amen.

ReplyDeleteThese Northern governors and indeed the Fed Govt aren't doing enough to curtail these incessant killings in the north, especially the southern part of some (northern)states
ReplyDeleteIt gets so annoying . If it's possible, why not recruit/engage the services of powerful local hunters and vigillantees; maybe, their expertise and knowledge could go a long way. Not every time "we're in shock". Abeg that statement have since become stale 🤒
May their souls rest in peace and comfort to their Loved ones 🙏🙏🙏
Rip to them... Comfort to those they left behind.
ReplyDeleteThis is a sad news mehn..
ReplyDeleteMay God grant them eternal rest 🙏🏽🙏🏽💔💔
Bandits? Herdsmen?...
ReplyDeleteSo sad
ReplyDeleteThe blood bank has not filled up, they need more bloods.
ReplyDeleteMay God Almighty uproot the bastards taking lives.
May this Pastor and wife deaths brings in more deaths to the killers and their families Amen. May they be wiped off from this earth Amen
People are killed, and the only thing they do is to condemn it. Hmmm. Fish out the killers, make them pay for the lives they take when they kill.
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy on us...
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad, Government should do something please. May their soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteY'all calling God to help! He did not create this mess,we did. The Solution is for our people to arm themselves with firearms and protect themselves and their families.
ReplyDeleteThese bandits knows people are afraid and not armed....match fire for fire.
But I don't think the law allows for individuals to possess firearms. The imbalance in Nigeria is sickening.
DeleteSo sad may their souls find rest.
ReplyDeleteI am angry at this news...
ReplyDeleteHow do another just take a life he didn't create!
Just like that😭😭😭😭
May their souls rest In perfect peace
ReplyDeleteThis is sad, May their souls rest in peace
