Jihadists in Nigeria continue to savage the Christian community. This is an ongoing genocide, perpetrated amid lies that the violence has nothing to do with Islam. Recently, Fulani jihadists (often referenced as “herdsmen”) “tried to kill Reverend Ishaku Katung of the Evangelical Church Winning All. 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.”

The jihadists then used Esther Ishaku Katung to get a ransom. Her family took two weeks to raise the ransom, and then “found her body in the bushes.” She was brutally murdered days before the ransom was paid out: 253,871 Nigerian naira, this is, 700 US dollars.

Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 484: “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
