One of the stars of Mo Abudu's Naija Diamonds Season 2 which held in
2012, Joshua Adah, was hacked to death in Taraba State on January 23rd
by Fulani Herdsmen. According to reports, Joshua, who is a father of two
and had a ministry in Taraba where he provided medicine and clothing
for hundreds of poor people in his community, was returning to his
mission station in Bantaje, a
village near Jalingo, from an evangelistic outreach to some villagers
when his vehicle broke down along the
Wukari-Jalingo road. He was then attacked by ethnic Fulani cattlemen.,
who had invaded Christian communities a week before. Continue...
Pastor Adah, a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, decided to live in
Taraba after he was posted there in 2002 upon finishing his university.
He met his wife there and also saw what children of the poor were going
through in the community and decided to stay behind and help improve
their lives. He left city life and moved to a remote village with his
family, where he built a school in a round hut that provided free
education to a student population that grew to more than 400 pupils. He
also provided shelter, food and money to improvised families and this is
how they take his life.
He's survived by a wife and two young children. May his soul rest in peace, amen.
