Boko Haram insurgents have reportedly killed the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Michika local government area of Adamawa state, Lawan Andimi.
Andimi who was abducted early January following the insurgents attack Michika, was from Kwada village in Chibok local government area of Borno state.
According to the TheCable, Andimi was killed by his captors on Monday.
“At some point, the insurgents reached out for negotiations, and the church was still trying to see how they can get on with the terms,” a source told the publication.
The source also confirmed to the publication that a CAN delegation was on its way to Michika to see the family of the deceased.
It will be recalled that days after his abduction, the clergyman, in a video clip, asked Ahmadu Fintiri, governor of Adamawa, to come to his rescue.
“I have never been discouraged, because all conditions that one finds himself …is in the hand of God. God who made them to take care of me. So, the summary of my speech; I am appealing to my colleagues, reverends, particularly my president, Reverend Joel Billy who is a strong man, a man of compassion and man of love. He can do all his best to speak to our governor, Umaru Jibrilla (Fintiri) and other necessary agents for my release here,” he had said.
