The parents of a Nigerian school-girl who was kidnapped by Boko Haram and stoned to death after she refused to convert to Islam, have spoken on BBC television of their joy about her faithfulness to Jesus.
“To die for the sake of Christ, that’s the happiest thing for me. I'm grateful that she didn't change her religion,” her father, who is a pastor, said. “I believe she died with dignity. Monica is now in heaven because she refused to convert,” her mother added.
