A Pastor In Kaduna Narrates How His Three Children And Wife Were Killed By Gunmen

 It was also a  grieving moment for an ECWA pastor in Masankwai village in the Kaura Local Government Area of the state whose wife and three children were slaughtered following the recent crisis in Kaduna that left more than 120 people dead including women and children on Friday.
Pastor Likita Riku, narrated how he lost his wife and three children during the attack by unknown gunmen. According to his story, he had earlier left his home to attend men's fellowship in the next town when the evil struck on his family and village. 
“After the evening meal, I led the evening prayer and the kids all smiled and told me, ‘good night, may God see us through till morning’ and I left for the meeting. “While I was at the DCC Men’s Fellowship Conference, my wife and the kids went to sleep with great expectations of uniting on Saturday with me after the conference, but the gunmen came into my home, killed my wife and our children. “My wife was cut with machetes, and the kids were gunned down. Some other neighbour’s kids fled to other neighbouring houses, but the attackers locked the doors and set the houses ablaze,” he narrated. According to him, others that escaped the inferno were hunted down like game in hunting expedition. “No infant was spared, no child or teenager was left alive. Adults were all eliminated. In death, man deserves the honour of a personal grave, but all these people were buried in a single grave – father and daughter, the mother and son,” he said in tears.
