I will arrest anyone who disturb Muslims in Rivers – Amaechi

The Rivers state Governor and chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has warned that he will arrest anybody or group that disturbs Muslims during worship in the state.

Mr Amaechi, gave the warning while speaking at a Thanksgiving service of the third session synod of church of Nigeria.

He said “Anybody who disturbs the Muslim from worshipping in his mosque here in Rivers State, I will arrest the person. Muslims should be allowed to practice their religion, just as we (Christians) should be allowed to practice our religion anywhere, or in any part of the world.

“As the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) what I will preach here is that there is need for peace in the whole country. There is need for peace and how we go about that is for the government to sit with the citizens on how to go about that peace”, he said.

Mr Amaechi added that the NGF will continue to preach peace and unity amongst Christians and Muslims across the country.

He said the church has a great role to play especially through what the church leaders preach to their congregation.

  6. My Brothers killings Christains in their Chuches is unislamic and inlam doest advice to kill christain.if you go back into history of islam during you will discovered that the relationship between Muslim & Christain waz very Good.E.g when Meccan Pegans whant to killed prophet Muhammad followers PBUH he sent them to one Christain’s King in Ethopia.am assure u that 98% of muslims we are not supporting All this Attacks,I don’t think Boko Haram will be more than 2% of muslims populations in North.Thank u

Islam esterblish peace to the community. U have to make dis ubservation by urs my Brother’s Nigerian

  9. Nigerians unite against corruption,violence,killing in the name of religion.If you want to fight against Boko Haram come to the north instead of staying in your state &insult other people religion.pray for Nigeria&everybody.

  10. Rotimi, Azubuike, Abubakar Agberu Amaechi is only a Supreme court appointed gov. Is Amaechi now a state policeman to arrest anti boko haram in Rivers state? He can not even sort out RSUT. or fix Eneka road or collapsing building in Ekire street..
    Gov Omehia is our democratically elected Gov. We want him back in power.Amaechi has K leg.

  11. Hi every1, Rotimi did d rite tin. If dis Boko Haram of a people realise dat their people ar nt killed, they may av a recourse of mind nd may hand ova their weapons. Pls, dnt insult d Governor. He knws ot he z doin. Pls

  12. I dont just know dis issue of Boko Haram dat turn to anothr thing dat xristian are calling all Muslim terrorist. Islam is peace. Islam forbids Muslim 4rm fighting or Militancy against any religion God the most high says Qur 60 vs 8″as such of the unbelievers dat do not fight U ON acount of ur faith, and neither drive you 4rm homelands, God does not forbids u show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity 4 verily God loves those who act equitably. so dis Boko Haram ppl I dont think they are muslim perharp they re politician or non muslim to cause Religion crisis U can’t see muslim to be killing ppl anyhw nobody can assist God couz there is no probability dat they can’t convert to Islam. pls stop calling all muslim terrorist can u imagine dis ppl said western education is forbid and they re using technological instrument dis issue is lack of understand of Religion as a Islam.
