Nnewi—A victim of Boko Haram attack, Mr. John Mbah, who now resides in Okpoko, Ogbaru Local Government Area, Anambra State, yesterday, gave a graphic account of how his father, Pastor Kenneth Mbah and sister, Adaugo Mbah were burnt alive in their church, Discipleship Ministries, in Dadawa, an outskirt of Sabongari, Kano State, by the dreaded Islamic religious sect, Boko Haram.

He said that the incident happened on April 30, 2016, and he is demanding justice from Federal Government.

“On the fateful day, while we were in the church praying, they stormed and ordered us to renounce our Christian faith or be killed.

“As my father was about to beg them to allow him to be with his faith, they set him ablaze with the fuel they were carrying and when my sister, Adaugo Kenneth, rushed to him to stop the inferno, they poured fuel on her too and because their attention was on the fire, my elder brother, Nnamdi Kenneth and I, retreated to the inner apartment and as they were ordering us to come out, we knew it was our turn to be killed and we escaped through the window.

“As we were running in different directions, I heard my father and sister crying in pain but I had no option than to save my life first. I have not set my eyes on my elder brother, Nnamdi Kenneth, who, I have gathered, ran to Florida, US, for safety while I am here in Okpoko, Anambra State, doing menial jobs to help myself as the sect vowed to kill us if they ever see us again,” he said.
