Boko Haram gives FG a week deadline to secure release of Pastor in its captivity
Boko Haram insurgents have given a week ultimatum to the Federal Government to secure the release of Pastor Bulus Yakuru who was abducted on Christmas eve in Pemi Village, Borno State
The pastor had previously appeared in two Boko Haram videos days after the abduction in December and early January 2021, where he pleaded for both the Government and the Church’s intervention.
In a new video, Pastor Yakuru identified himself and pleaded with Nigeria’s President, Borno State Governor and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the umbrella body of Christians in the country, to intervene and secure his release. While one of the terrorists stood behind him with a knife, the Pastor revealed that he was given a one-week ultimatum by his abductors which will end on Wednesday March 3.
“I’m calling on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Governor of Borno to help me because I have been given a one-week ultimatum today, Feb. 24. If you want me alive, I beg you in your capacity as President, the governor and our local government chairman to save me from this suffering, he said
“I’m calling on the EYN Church of the Brethren President to intervene and secure my release. Please pray for me. “Today is the last day I will have the opportunity to call on you in your capacity as my parents and relatives in the country. Anyone who has the intention should help and save me. Please release me from this pain.” In Jan. 2020, Boko Haram killed Reverend Lawan Andimi, the district chairman of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria (EYN) in Michika, Adamawa State, he added
hmmmmmmmm…. just prayed for your quick released….
This is pathetic, in a country that we have the president and others security agencies bokoharam is still operating like this this is not good at all.
Imagine so we have a pastor In captivity, and no church has held any program to pray for him. When peter was arrested, the church prayed earnestly for him. But now pastors even want there fellow pastor to die. Wht a world. The truth is that because he is a pastor the FG will not do anything. If he Was an imam they would have secured his realize.
