 Name:
Benjamin Mogaji
Age:11 years old
Class: Pry 4
State of Origin : Kaduna
My father was a soldier in the Nigerian Army. During the riot,
the rioters surrounded our house. My sister was a choir leader
in the church. When they came they couldn’t enter our house so
my father said he would prefer to die for the whole family so
that my mother can take care of us. He stood in defense of the
family and he was shot in the stomach. They rushed in and killed
my little sister and I fell into the burning fire but I was
saved by my brother who was later killed. We lost 8 members of
our family to the riot. My mother was stabbed twice but she was
saved so it remains myself, mother and my big sister who was not
around during the riot .I am grateful to the Voice of the
Christian Martyrs Nigeria for taking care of me. May God
continue to bless them. |
