The Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Reverend Titus Pona, has said that his Scretary, the late Reverend Faye Pama Musa, was murdered by the Boko Haram sect, infront of his daughter, who followed them from the living room where they dragged him outside before shooting him severally.
According to Reverend Pona, his daughter who called to inform him of her father’s demise, said she had begged them to spare his life but they would not listen, instead they also tried to shoot her but the bullet did not touch her.
Pona said the killers according to his family claimed through the wall to the house where they met him in the living room and dragged him out with the intention not to killed him, before his children but the daughter followed and saw them taking life out of her father.
He recalled that, last year, when they met with the governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, the governor, out of concern, asked whether the area they were living was safe for them.

“We told the governor that our areas were safe. Of course, there were no killings around this area before and where I am living is also seen as safe until they started killing people again, and it is very unfortunate that they came to attack innocent man.” He said

Also family members said the killers were seven in numbers that claimed the wall into the house of late Rev. Faye Pama at exactly 6:30 pm on Tuesday. “ They came in a gulf car and waited around the house. Alot of people saw them, even those children that were playing ball saw them but nobody thought they were here for a mission to kill anyone.”

According to them, there was rumour last week that the Boko Haram are planning to kill or kidnap a pastor, but people took it lightly. “We never thought that the rumour could turn out to be true as it was written and drop within the Polo area. Only God can serve us from these blood suckers.
Our prayers and hope is that the amnesty decleared by the President would help to fish them out and brought them to justice for the innocent lives they have taken.”
