Jihadists Refuse to Release Abducted Woman

[168] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for Mrs. Baraka.

Church leaders request prayer for a woman abducted in early March of 2024 in Kaduna State, Nigeria, from an area with a majority-Christian population. “Fulani jihadis opened sporadic gunfire on the entire area,” said a front-line worker. “And while Mrs. Musa Baraka was running to safety, in the confusion, the militants picked her up and shot her 32-year-old son.” The son survived and underwent surgery for his wounds in early May. Mrs. Musa Baraka has been living in a remote bush area with her captors since she was taken. “Only God can release her from the kidnappers. But our God is able!” the front-line worker said.
