Every Sunday morning at 8:00am, 32-year-old Daniel Musa rushes to church, just a half kilometer away from his home in the Polo area of Maiduguri, with his bible clutched in his right hand. On weekdays, he ensures that nothing derails him from attending midweek services—even in that city, which has been attacked by the dreaded Boko Haram repeatedly since 2002.
His first encounter with the insurgents was on the 6th of January 2012, just after the New Year celebration in Maiduguri. He started hearing shrieks of different pitches resonating from outside his house. He opened his door to find out what was happening but couldn’t find anything.
