There was palpable tension on Tuesday as the Boko Haram sect has reportedly executed Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Lawan Andimi.
This was made known by Ahmed Salkida, a journalist known to have access to Boko Haram.
According to his tweet: “To break some news items can traumatize. I’m battling with one of such. Reverend Andimi, abducted by Boko Haram, was executed yesterday. Rev. Andimi was a church leader, a father to his children and the community he served. My condolences go to his family.”
However, in a video few weeks ago, Andimi pleaded with the authorities to come to his aid. He commended his abductors for treating him well and urged his family members to pray for his release, adding that if he is not released, maybe it is the will of God.
