Boko Haram have rejected N50million ransom for release of Rev. Lawan Andimi, the branch chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Michika local government area in Adamawa state before executing him on Monday.

The state CAN chairman, Bishop Dami Mamza, disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Yola on Tuesday, saying the captive had been beheaded after negotiation broke down.

According to him, the insurgents had demanded for £200million, rejecting the N50million ransom offer outrightly. He said the cleric’s captors threatened to kill him on Saturday but did not carry out the execution until Monday.

The EYN church pastor was abducted by the insurgents two weeks ago following an attack on Michika town. His captors subsequently released a video in which he pleaded with the Adamawa State governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to ensure his release. “Negations were still ongoing when they stopped calling. They were offered N50 million but they rejected it”, Mamza said.

“They called his wife last week, informing her that they will be beheading him on Saturday, but somehow, they waited till Monday (yesterday). Bishop Mamza lamented the attacks on Christians citing the killing of Pastor Dennis Bagauri of the Lutheran Church in Mayo-Belwa area by suspected kidnappers on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri today condemned the execution of Rev. Andimi. Speaking through the Director General, Media and Communications, Solomon Kumangar, he said “the governor is saddened by the gruesome execution of the pastor.”

Boko haram has turned kidnappers....

So much blood sheding by Boko Haram. What can I as a Muslim say? It's shameful. But all those who are giving Islam bad name will perish just as Osama bin Ladin and Al-Baghdadi perished. Even those we call idol worshippers do not go about killing people who do not accept their form of worship. I haven't see Ogun worshippers or Sango worshippers or Osun worshippers or even those that follow Amadioha going about killing people for not accepting their religion. Definitely, those say they are killing for Allah will die painful and shameful death.

Muslims in Nigeria should have tackled this issue from onset , but instead, they were emotionally sympathetic to the killings since their major victims are Christians.......... But today, these terrorist end up giving Muslims bad names, like I always say " if you are too deep in Islamic knowledge and practice, you'll surely end up as terrorist ".............education is what is helping southwest Muslims if not no difference.

Corrections:

MAY GOD DELIVER US FROM THE HAND OF BLOOD THIRSTY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS THAT WANT CHRISTIANS DEAD IN THE NORTH
AT ALL COST. ......... ........ .....Muslims I hope you can see what your
brothers are doing. What is the crime of this innocent man that he should die?
Is it because he is a CHRISTIAN? Yet you MUSLIMS will come out to deny
the report of EU ( Europian Union ) that CHRISTIANS are not being killed. This
is another proof that Christians are been targeted at to be killed in the north.




THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN WORLD IS WATCHING AND THEY WOULD RESPOND
APPROPRIATELY WHEN THE TIME COMES!!!!
