Residents of Ekpoma community are counting their loses following the invasion of some masked men suspected to be Islamic jihadists.
The attackers cloaked in dust and rage reportedly targeted a young missionary named Sunday Adudu for daring to convert two Muslim brothers to Christianity in the locality.
Hell was reportedly let lose the night of June 4, 2022, when they attacked the home of the missionary’s parents, destroying it and beating everyone in sight and demanded to see Sunday in the midst of “Allah ak bar” chants that set the peaceful community on panic mode.
But Sunday Adudu and his mother Mrs Justina Adudu, managed to escape the attack. Sunday was allegedly accused of taking pictures and videos of the the attack after pictures of the incidents flooded the social media with the islamists vowing to eliminate him.
In the aftermaths of the invasion, some Fulani herdsmen invaded their farms and murdered sunday’s father and siblings, with properties worth millions of naira destroyed.
The islamists working in league with the murderous Fulani Herdsmen are reportedly still in search of Sunday Adudu and have been attacking farmers, killing the men and raping women.
Sunday Adudu, hail from Ekpoma in Edo State Nigeria, he is a young farmer and a missionary preacher of the Gospel.
His trouble started when he converted two sons of a high profiled Muslim scholar to Christianity. They were reportedly drawn by his faith, love and kindness and got turned from their Islamic background toward Christ.
They began to question, to drift, until Islam felt like chains they no longer wished to wear. And in that quiet betrayal, the faithful felt a wound too deep to forgive.
Sunday’s mother who had been hiding in a another village has got no idea of the whereabout of her son. She has reported the case to the security agencies in Ekpoma who have assured they would do something about her missing only child having lost the rest to the vicious attack on their home.
