The Nigerian Anglican Diocese of Sokoto releases a statement about the family of the murdered priest Anthony Idris Jata’u

From there:

God, in His infinite mercy, brought our brethren back undefiled! Our Mummy conquered in the bush such that even the commandant of the bush would normally order everyone “please keep quiet madam is praying”.
God equally used our Mummy to restore a missing girl from Oyo state. The girl is an orphan; her late mother was married from Umuahia in Abia state. As Mummy Jata’u continued praying, the girl got attracted to her and narrated her ordeals to her.
The girl was living with her grand mother. On the 10th of January, she was going for an examination in Kebbi state. She was told, since she doesn’t know the place, that she should get to Sokoto and board another vehicle to Katsina state. This she did without knowing that Katsina state is the state they had passed as well as Zamfara state before getting to Sokoto.
It was on their way back to Katsina that she was kidnapped. Her grand mother heard the news and died as well. God a reason for everything!
While the Jatau’s were coming out, Mummy pleaded with the terrorists to let her go with the girl and the request was granted; nothing was paid for her release!
The sister of our Daddy was to be raped by the hoodlums at gun point but she vehemently refused and chose to be killed rather than surrendering to the request of the terrible men. She came out undefiled!
They never knew their Dad had been killed though. Mummy also explained that she saw Daddy in dream telling her that he’s no more. Thanks to God for delivering the poor orphan from the captivity through our Mummy!!!!
