July 14, (THEWILL) – The Christian Reformed Church Nigeria (CRC-N) has called on the government and the intelligence agencies to investigate the brutal killing of the Chairman of the CRC-N Regional Church Council, Baissa Chairman, Late Rev. Timothy Damisa.
The clergyman was reported to have been killed in his residence at Baissa headquarters of Kurmi Local Government.
The Vice President of CRC-N, who is also the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Chairman Taraba State, Rev. Dr. Isaiah Magaji Jirapye, who spoke to journalists on behalf of the church President in Jalingo frowned at the inhuman act and called for immediate intervention by government.
While condemning the assassination of the cleric, the church observed that the gruesome act came at a time it most needed the services of the late clergyman.
Accordingly the church is worried by the new trend where assassins turned ministers of the Gospel into easy targets as this is not the first time the body of Christ has suffered such a huge loss.
The church however advised members to continue to pray for God to expose the perpetrators and sponsors of the gruesome murder and guard against peddling rumours concerning the incident as such is capable of bringing division in the church.
It could be recalled that Damisa was murdered in cold blood on Monday the 12th of July, 2021 in Baissa by unknown gunmen.
