Rev. Samuel Dali is president of the Church of the
Brethren in Nigeria. At his office in Jos, Dali told journalists the
terror group has destroyed church facilities in Adamawa, Yobe, and Borno
states, leaving most of his pastors without jobs.
He also said 176 of the 276 Chibok girls kidnapped last year were from his church.
Earlier this month, Boko Haram jihadists http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2015/August/Boko-Haram-Isla mists-killed-more-than-a-dozen/ - slit the throats of 16 Christian fishermen in three villages in Borno state.
The head of Borno state's fisher's union told AFP
they used knives to slaughter their victims so as not to alert soldiers
from Baga, a town in northeastern Nigeria near Lake Chad.
Still, Dali said he's hopeful the end of the terrorist group is near.
"Nigeria will overcome the Boko Haram challenge soon," he said.
