America honours 83-year-old Imam Abubakar Abdullahi, who hid over 200 Christians from suspected bandits in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Abubakar Abdullahi, risked his own life during June 2018 ethnic clashes that targeted predominantly Christian communities.

“As Imam Abdullahi was finishing midday prayers, he and his congregation heard gunshots and went outside to see members of the town’s Christian community fleeing,” the U.S. state department said.

“Instinctively, the imam ushered 262 Christians into the mosque and his home next to the mosque.” The Imam then went outside to confront the gunmen and he refused to allow them to enter, pleading with them to spare the Christians inside, even offering to sacrifice his life for theirs.

He was honoured with American Freedom Award.

Abubakar Abdullahi, risked his own life during June 2018 ethnic clashes that targeted predominantly Christian communities.

But why Buhari and clueless government denying that the killing going on is not targeted at christians. Where is Osibande?

Wow. Respect. That's the old typical Hausa people i know, honest, kind, fair and moderate not fanatical.

At every riot you find such people. One lay over a Christian lady about to be lynched. He said kill me too if you must kill her.

The root cause for unrest is mostly poverty and fight for resources as they use the opportunity to steal

Christians also do so too.

I know a man in Onitsha who saved a lot of Hausa Muslims during the 2005 reprisal meant to challenge the killing of Igbo Christians in the north due to a Mohammed cartoon drawn in Denmark.

The honor and recognition is well deserved, but we need to ask ourselves what was the remote and immediate cause of the rampage going on in the Christian community and what efforts are being made to avert re-occurrence.
That is how responsible country handle its affairs or are we waiting when another round of violence will erupts and if there is no kind hearted Imam to save the Christians they will all be butchered.
We should start taking responsibility in this country.
