'They asked me to renounce my faith'
One of the victims of the insurgents in the north, 37-year-old Adamu Habila from Yobe State mysteriously lived to tell the story of how he had a close shave with death when his assailants took him for dead after shooting him.

Habila, fatigued after a busy day, retired to bed with his wife and their son, only for their front door and a voice asking them to grant the unvited visitors easy entrance or risk of the door. He narrated that the intruders, who were in a hurry to execute their mission, did not even wait for them to take decision before forcing themselves in, asking members of his family to come out of the bedroom with immediate effect. As they hurriedly matched out, they discovered one of their two unwanted visitors was armed with a sophisticated rifle, who asked asked Adamu to kneel down. It was then it dawned on Adamu, a Youth Leader of the District Council (DCC) of ECWA Church in Yobe that the intruders were Boko Haram members on jihad mission.

Habila continued: "They told me they were giving me an opportunity to live and to lead a better life if only I could become a muslim and state the famous Kamatul Shahadar, a confession of faith in Islam. I replied that I am a Christian and would remain a Christian even in death and turned to my wife not to worry because the death of a Christian is a great gain not a loss."

"The armed one ordered my wife to go inside with a gun to dispossess us of our money and mobile phones while the other man kept on interrogating me. When they returned, the man outside told his partner that I did not co-operate. He then placed his gun on my face by my mouth and said:'since you refused to become a muslim, here is your reward.' He then pulled the trigger and the bullet passed through one side of my cheek to the other. I slumped"

After my assailants left, I managed to tell my wife to call our Christian Elder, Bab Jibir, the former treasurer of the DCC ECWA, Yobe State. Report came that he and his son had been killed. Police were called but they didn't come and every effort to get assistance from other neighbours, most of whom were muslims, proved abortive until 6.00am when I rushed to the General Hospital on Potiskum and later transfered to JUTH in Jos and later refered to Kano where the voice of Christian Martyrs Nigeria took over my case and provided for the entire family," he concluded.

Commenting on Habila's case, the National Director, Voice of the Christian Martyrs, Isaac Oluwole Newton-Wusu lamented the plight of people in Yobe State and said the case of Habila was just one of many in Yobe State where over 120 churches have been destroyed.

"There had been massive destruction of lives and properties where about 180 villages in different parts of the North were raided by fundamentalists who have rendered about 5000 Christian homeless. Religious fundamentalist have been on the prowl for long in the North, maiming and killing innnocent souls including children and babies with dangerous weapons. Emergence of Boko Haram had worsened the situation,which had turned many villages to ghost villages where those who have no place to go only wait like those that have been condemned to death. Voice of Christian Martyrs operates The Stephen Children Home in Abeokuta, Ogun State where over 325 children whose parents have been killed in various religious crises in the Northern parts of Nigeria are receiving free education, free accommodation and free sustenance. Some are in various univesities under the sponsorship of VCM," he eplained.

And yet some few people have the guts to want to sue the fedral govt while others claim that the decision taken by the federal govt is wrong. Now we know who the real enemies are.

And some animals are saying that Islam is a religion of "peace". Islam is the most evil religion of the World. Their "god" is a bloodthirsty demon.

That guy was foolish not to have rejected christianity at that point and get the hell out of that dungeon with his family,until he ready to fight back.

There are something worth dying for,not christinity.You can die for love and justice,for your fundamental human right,but not for a foreign faith.

One's faith is his own making.
