Boko Haram terrorists
John Mbah has recounted how his family
members were murdered by the deadly Boko
Haram sect over their religious beliefs,
Vanguard reports.
The man, who is now living in Okpoko,
Ogbaru local government area, Anambra
state, has said that his father Pastor
Kenneth Mbah and sister, Adaugo Mbah
were burnt alive in their church, Discipleship
Ministries, in Dadawa, an outskirt of
Sabongari, Kano state.
According to him, the incident occurred on
April 30, 2016, and he is demanding justice
from the Nigerian authorities
He said: “On the fateful day, while we were in
the church praying, they stormed and ordered
us to renounce our Christian faith or be killed.
“As my father was about to beg them to allow
him to be with his faith, they set him ablaze
with the fuel they were carrying and when my
sister, Adaugo Kenneth, rushed to him to stop
the inferno, they poured fuel on her too and
because their attention was on the fire, my
elder brother, Nnamdi Kenneth and I, retreated
to the inner apartment and as they were
ordering us to come out, we knew it was our
turn to be killed and we escaped through the
window.
“As we were running in different directions, I
heard my father and sister crying in pain but I
had no option than to save my life first. I have
not set my eyes on my elder brother, Nnamdi
Kenneth, who, I have gathered, ran to Florida,
US, for safety while I am here in Okpoko,
Anambra state, doing menial jobs to help
myself as the sect vowed to kill us if they ever
see us again.”
Muhammadu Buhari campaigned on a
promise to defeat the deadly sect, and while
the Nigerian government has made advances
in defeating the Boko Haram, some locals
say those victories were exaggerated.
Haram insurgents did on Eid-el Fitr
While insurgents didn’t control any territory
in the north-east of the country, they
organize separate suicide bombings and
attacks.
The victims of the Boko Haram are facing
prosecution when they return to their homes.
