The Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Reverend Titus Pona has said that, his Secretary, late Rev. Faye Pama Musa was murdered by the Boko Haram sect in front of his daughter, who followed them from the living room. He said they dragged him outside before his daughter and shot him severally.
According to Rev. Pona, his daughter who called to inform him of her father’s demise, said she had begged them to spare his life, but they would not listen, instead, they also tried to shoot her, but the bullet missed her.
Pona said the killers, according to his family, went through the wall to the house to drag him out, not with the intention to kill him before his children, but the daughter followed them.
He recalled that, last year when they met with the governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima, the governor,out of concern asked whether the area they live was safe enough for them.
“We told the governor that our area was safe. Of course, there were no killings around this area before, and it is very unfortunate that they came to attack an innocent man.” He said
Family members of the deceased have said that the killers were seven in number and stormed at exactly 6:30 pm on Tuesday. ” They came in a gulf car and waited around the house. A lot of people saw them, even those children that were playing ball saw them, but nobody thought they were here for a mission to kill anyone.”
According to them, there was rumour last week that the Boko Haram group were planning to kill or kidnap a pastor, but people took it lightly. “We never thought that the rumour could turn out to be true, as it was written and dropped within the Polo area. Only God can save us from these blood suckers. Our prayers and hope is that the state of emergency declared by the President would help to fish them out and bring them to justice .”
