Abubakar Abdullahi
Nigerian imam Abubakar Abdullahi, who 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.

Although the gunmen killed 84 people in Nghar village that day, Imam Abdullahi’s actions saved the lives of hundreds more.


The ceremony for the new International Religious Freedom Awards from the United States Department of State, was hosted yesterday by US department secretary Mike Pompeo

So all this while you thought the news going round are fake or what?

I don't know why people still don't see that the same people who are innately stupid and gullible enough to cause harm to another innocent human all in the name of religious or tribal differences are still the same people that would still twist&distort anything else just to cause harm to another being.The imam that was willing to risk his life for the sake of others(even tho they could have killed him and still massacred the folks he was trying to protect),is he alien?
