Suspected Fulani Militants Kill Pastor’s Wife, but Still Take Ransom

Suspected Fulani Militants Kill Pastor’s Wife, but Still Take Ransom

09/28/2019 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) – On September 14, suspected Fulani militants attacked the village of Bagoma in Kaduna State, Nigeria. During the attack, the militants tried to kill Rev. Ishaku Katung of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA). On that night, they broke into the church premises and attacked the sleeping husband and wife. Rev. Katung was able to escape, but was shot. His wife, Esther Ishaku Katung, did not make it away, and was taken by the attackers.

Over the next two weeks, the militants told the family that if they did not receive a ransom, that they would kill her. It took the family two weeks to raise nearly $700 to pay the ransom. After they paid it, they found her body in the bushes. She had been killed by her kidnappers days before receiving the ransom. This means that they killed her and still demanded the money.

“Information we got from some of the kidnapped victims who escaped from the herdsmen’s enclave shows that Esther Katung and two other victims had escaped from the herdsmen’s captivity, but she was recaptured by them,” Pastor Hayab told Morning Star News. “She attempted to escape with two others after they were kidnapped by the herdsmen; this infuriated the herdsmen, leading them to kill her. They broke her legs in order to prevent her from escaping and smashed her head too. This led to her death.”

Please pray for Rev. Katung and his family as they must now bury his wife. This type of tragedy is becoming all too common in Kaduna State and throughout the Middle Belt of Nigeria. If the Nigerian government does not take protection of its citizens more seriously, then thousands will continue to die at the hands of violent extremists and criminals.

Suspect the muzzards response might be 'Said we would accept the ransome. Never said we wouldn't kill the hostage." Muzzards think such things are really Kool Man.

That is who [those that kidnapped and murdered the Pastor's wife] are bring over here by the troopship load, folks. Those are the ones that the voters are sending to Congress, people. Don't be surprised when they start doing what they did over there here.

you should pass this on to that congress-critter that thought Guam would tip over. Tell him that if you just cut on up from the Suez Canal, Africa will just float away

I really hate it when evil people lack integrity.

Africa was lost when the civilized Brits left. It is an example of how Islam wants the whole world to look after its conquest....a nightmare.

Today even some African intellectuals will admit that much of the continent would have been far better served being held as a UN trust territory by the former colonial power from anywhere from 50 to 100 years. Instead a thin veneer of westernization was applied and so-called independence declared.

How much of the world will Islam control under that mentality?

Muslims may be psychotic and demonic but they sure as hell aren't stupid. They will conquer as much of the world as they are allowed to.

Ignoring that threat is insanity.
