A man who comes from a family of devoted Muslim sheiks in eastern Uganda is recovering from a machete blow to his head after his brother struck him as punishment for putting his faith in Christ and listening to gospel music.
The victim, identified as 39-year-old Abudlawali Kijwalo from Kibuku District’s Nankodo area, survived the attack, which took place on June 27, but will need further treatment, the doctors said, according to Morning Star News.
Kijwalo, who is from a family of hajjis (pilgrims to Mecca), was grazing his cattle when his brother, identified as Musoga Murishid, attacked him, the victim recalled, adding that family members had warned him against listening to gospel music or claiming that Jesus Christ was his Lord and Savior.
