Imam Who Shielded Christians During Plateau Attack Is Dead by Newsgeek24(op): 10:50am On Jan 16

Abubakar Abdullahi, Imam of Nghar village in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau state, who protected 262 Christians in the area, is dead.

Saleh Abubakar, a son of the Imam, confirmed his death to Daily Trust on Friday, saying his father died Thursday night at Plateau Specialist Hospital, Jos.

According to the deceased’s son, his father “died ten days after he was admitted. He was initially diagnosed with a heart problem. He’d go for check-ups and return. His health hadn’t been stable since the heart disease diagnosis.”

Imam Abubakar died at 90, leaving behind 19 children including 12 boys and 7 girls.

Imam Abubakar Abdullahi had in June 2018 amidst deadly faith based communal clashes that engulfed 10 villages in Barkin Ladi, hid 262 Christians in a mosque and in his house until the conflict was over, and thus saved them from annihilation.

He had received several awards for his bravery, including the International Religious Freedom Award from the US Department of State in 2019.

Late Abubakar would be buried today after Jumma’at Prayer in Nghar village.

That this man protected Christians against the killer jihadists is a testament of how the persecution and genocide against them happened and remain in Plateau state. This the same evil Reno Omokri later denounced that it it didn't happened. Rest on sir.

He did not choose humanity over religion. He is the actual religious one. Those He protected people from are the ones astray.
