A pastor's daughter was killed and a church destroyed when local youths wielding machetes attacked a village in Kano state.
The mob set fire to the home of Rev Habila Garba in Gidan Maso village – after failing to find a Christian whom they reportedly wanted to kill for turning away from Islam. The pastor's daughter was trapped inside her home and suffocated.
The mob attacked local Christians with machetes, leaving two of them with broken arms. They also burned down the village's Baptist church in the attack last Wednesday.
PLEASE PRAY for our brother, Rev Habila, and his family as they come to terms with their loss. Pray that the Christians of Gidan Maso will have the strength to persist in their faith and not to retaliate. Pray for wisdom for Nigeria's new Government as well as determination to tackle religiously motivated violence.
