It’s easy to focus on how people are divided along tribal and religious lines, but several people are out there who aren’t letting these differences stop them from seeing the humanity and unity in others.
One of them is an imam from the village of Nghar Yelwa in Plateau State, who saved 262 Christians from Fulani Herdsmen on Sunday by hidning them in a mosque during the Plateau killings.
The herdsmen had attacked 3 local governments in the state killing over 100 people, one of them Barkin Ladi, where the people had escaped from.
Sharing his story with BBC Pidgin, the imam said he firstly took the women, number about 60 to his home, and then he took the men to the mosque to hide.
The herdsmen later accosted him, he shared, and ordered him to give up the Christians.
But he lied(to save them) and told them all the people with him were Muslims.
It’s so refreshing, seeing that some of us are not letting ideologies and religion and tribe divide us. So inspiring.
