IN WHAT can be described as Al Qaeda tactics, the Catholic Resistance Movement which is fighting against the Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Reverend Gabriel Palmer-Buckle has threatened to “cause an unprecedented national crisis” should the Archbishop go ahead to ‘confiscate’ three buildings at Martyrs of Uganda to house students of the Social Advance Institute.
The group however would not say exactly what they are going to do should the Metropolitan Archbishop defy their warning but said the National Security, Minister of the Interior, IGP among others should prevent him from going ahead with the alleged confiscation.
In a news release headlined “Catholic Resistance Movement Against Palmer-Buckle” issued in Accra on Wednesday and signed by C.S. Henchman, spokesperson for the group said “as part of our struggle against Palmer-Buckle, we have resolved to rescue the three storey building at the Martyrs of Uganda Church which Palmer-Buckle is on the verge of confiscating to house students of Social Advance Institute.”
“The building will not be safe for occupation by the Social Advance Institute. Our hit squad is ready and will strike if Palmer-Buckle forces the Social Advance Institute to occupy it. This warning must not be treated as joke for we shit bombed
Palmer-Buckle and we are ready for the worse to rescue the property for the owners.”
“Accordingly, we call on the National Security Coordinator, the Inspector-General of Police, the National Coordinator of National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) and the Minister for the Interior as well as moral society to prevent Palmer-Buckle from forcing the students of Social Advance Institute to occupy the building.”
“If they fail to act now, Palmer-Buckle will cause an unprecedented national crisis when we strike and we know he would like to do that in order to sabotage the government of President Mills. The lives of the innocent children who are being bullied by Palmer-Buckle are precious to us hence this warning. Thank you all and stay tuned for our next action.”
The release said “our war with the renegade Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra Palmer-Buckle is on course. C.S. Henchman is a pseudonym for the real man who is the spokes person of the Catholic Resistance Movement against Palmer-Buckle made up of highly respected and noble-minded members of the church in the Accra Archdiocese.”
The group started its nefarious activities on May 2 when it shit-bombed the Martyrs of Uganda Catholic Church at Mamprobi in Accra.
It was not clear the motive behind the dastardly act but on June 10, 2010 a group calling itself the Catholic Resistance Movement against Palmer Buckle claimed responsibility for it.
The group, in a statement signed by C.S. Henchman, said the May 2 action which preceded a confirmation ceremony at the church officiated by the Archbishop was to draw public attention to alleged abuses being committed by him.
They accused the Archbishop of living a luxurious lifestyle, owning a $2 million Trassaco mansion and attempting to seize their three-storey building at the Martyrs of Uganda parish to house the Social Advance Institute.
