A 25-year-old man was killed on his way back from a church meeting last week. Sheriff Yongo from the Demsa area of Adamawa State, Nigeria, was another victim of another Christian persecution in Nigeria.
He was returning home to Demsa from the annual convention held by the Lutheran Church of Christ Nigeria in nearby Numan when he and his traveling companions came under attack.
Sheriff was driving a motorcycle while his two friends rode on the back. They were able to escape into the dark bush. One of the passengers told media that he and the other passenger waited for Sheriff to join them. When he didn’t, they eventually returned to the site of the attack and found his body with knife wounds and the fingers of one of his hands cut off.
