By Jennifer Yusuf

Rev. Lawan Andimi, Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Michika, Adamawa state, has been executed by Boko Haram.

The terrorists, captured the pastor two weeks ago in his Michika home town when they came in search of commodities.

They later demanded a Ransome £2 million, but rejected an offer of N50 million, according to the state CAN chairman, Stephen Dami Mamza.

The state CAN chairman, revealed that “Pastor Lawan was beheaded yesterday.

“Negations were still ongoing when they stopped calling. They were offered N50 million but they rejected it.

“They called his wife last week, informing her that they will be beheading him on Saturday, but somehow, they waited till Monday yesterday.

“Also yesterday, pastor Dennis Bagauri of the Lutheran Church, was killed in Jereng, Mayo-Belwa area of Adamawa state.

“It is now clear that Christians are not protected by the government; we don’t feel like we have a government”, he said.

Reacting, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri said the execution of Rev. Andimi, described the action of the terror group as barbaric.

Solomon Kumangar, Director General, Media and Communication to the governor said, “the governor is saddened by the gruesome execution of the pastor”.
