Churches not allowed here

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, at Gusua in Zamfara State was set ablaze by yet to be identified persons 

The RCCG parish building was torched by alleged hoodlums on January 25 this year Quite naturally.  sympathizers visited to commiserate with the leadership of the church. 
Three weeks after the fire incidence, a delegation from the community paid a sympathy visit to the church and empathized with the leadership of the church. After the normal exchange of pleasantries, the visiting community leaders dropped the clincher: “We sympathize with you for the fire incidence, but we must tell you that we will not allow you to rebuild this place as a church.” Infact, he added: “We have actually come to let you know that you have six months within which to vacate the site.”

That was when it dawned on the pastor and his congregation that Christians were not wanted in the community.
