Faith Kore Usman
By Morning Star News
BOKKOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim extremists had once prior widowed Faith Kore Usman, a 29-year-old mother of five children, before Fulani herdsmen killed her second husband on New Year’s Eve.
As 34-year-old Kore Usman and other Christians were praising God in a field near their church building in Maihakorin Gold village, near Bokkos in central Nigeria’s Plateau state on Dec. 31, ethnic Fulani gunmen arrived and shot at the congregation. Besides killing Usman, the assault also killed a 41-year-old mother of six children and a 14-year-old girl.
“I have placed my faith in God and am waiting on Him to comfort me and keep me and these five children,” Usman’s widow told Morning Star News.
She said she and her second husband had been married for nine years.
“My first husband, Davou Philip, was killed by Muslim Fulani herdsmen in Jol Village in Riyom Local Government Area in 2002,” she said. “I had only a son with him. However, God brought me and Kore Usman together, and we got married. God has blessed us with four children. I thought my burden has been lifted as a widow, and now, again my second husband has been killed by Muslim gunmen.”
