Tabita Adamu (44), her 18-year-old daughter Haske and 11-year-old son Nuhu died in a July 5 bomb blast during church services in north-east Nigeria.
Tabita’s brother Habila has become quite well known after he travelled abroad telling how he‘d been ‘left for dead’ in 2012.
New pastor
The 5 July attack took place as worshippers gathered inside the City of David Parish of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Potiskum, Yobe State.
The attack also killed the church’s new pastor, the Revd Dotun Okerinola, and a church elder. Mr Okerinola had moved from the southern town of Ibadan to take over the church about three months ago. His wife and three children had yet to join him in Potiskum.
Tabita, a mother of eight, arrived for the service with six of her children, but sent four of them home to get money for the collection, said her brother Habila Adamu. ‘That’s how God miraculously saved the six children and their father from death.’
