Abuja based pastor, Joshua Iginla has given N5 million to 26 year old Muslim lady, Jamila Yusuf pictured above who was allegedly bathed with acid by her fiance.
The pastor noted that although she requires N10 million for surgery, the money he gave her will go a long way to help her condition and challenged members of his church and other Nigerians to donate towards helping the victim pay for her surgery.
He pledged to complete the money by next week with another N5 million if the balance was not raised by then.
Presenting the money to Jamila during a recent church service, the pastor who has never seen the victim before said
“I am not doing this for her because she is a member of my Church; I don’t know her from anywhere; she’s even a Muslim by religion! We are only doing this to preach love and not to convert her to Christianity, after her surgery in India, if she decides to remain a Muslim so be it” he said.
He promised to sponsor the trip, alongside two other persons that will accompany to India with feeding and hotel bills as required.
“This is an opportunity to show love to your neighbour because she’s not a Christian; your neighbour must not necessarily come from your religion or ethnic group"he said.
