Testimony in  Africa tragedy

A British Christian family whose relative was murdered by Islamists in Nigeria have called his execution video ‘a grace’.

The terrorists killed the man on Christmas Day. He was in a group of 11 who were kidnapped, and was shot alongside four other Christians.

A 49-second video shows five armed members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) lining up behind five men dressed in orange robes who are kneeling with their hands tied behind them. The men gave their names in the video as Uka Joseph, Sunday, Wilson, Joshua Maidugu and Garba Yusuf, but also said as their last words ‘I am a Christian’.
