Apostle Johnson Suleman, President and founder of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, has appealed to Boko Haram insurgents not to kill Borno based pastor, Bulus Yikura, who is in their captivity.
The cleric was abducted by the insurgents on Christmas eve last year during an attack on Pemi village in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State.
Taking to Twitter, Suleman pleaded with the insurgents to spare Yikura’s life, adding that Christians are not the insurgents’ enemies and wrote on how some certain Muslims were saved by Christians many years back.
