Just one week after converting to Christianity, a 41-year-old former Imam was killed by a mob angered by his conversion.
Yusuf Kintu, was the Imam of Macca Mosque in Dolwe Island, Mayuge District, according to International Christian Concern. He was killed on December 7, 2020.
According to Pastor Andrew Nyanma of the Full Gospel church Dolwe, Yusuf had put his faith in Christ on November 30, 2020 after hearing the Gospel.
“We had been talking on several occasions but he was so argumentative when we touched on matters related to faith," Nyanma says. "He was a brilliant Muslim Imam but also respected other people’s faith. On this day, he was calm and receptive. He gave me humble time to explain to him why Christ is the only way to the Father. He repented of his sins and committed to following Christ."
