NAIROBI, Kenya — A Muslim teacher at an Islamic school in eastern Uganda who became a Christian on Oct. 4 was subsequently murdered on Oct. 21, area sources said.
Wanjala Hamidu was a teacher at Swidiki Islamic School in Nankoma, Bugiri District, 4 kilometers (2.48 miles) from his home in Masita village, where his brothers beat him to death after learning he had put his faith in Christ, the sources said. Hamidu was 32.
Hamidu converted to Christianity at an Oct. 4 evangelistic event in Bulange that he attended with his brother, Wulasiyo Swamadu. As Hamidu remained after the event for further Christian teaching, Swamadu returned home and told other Muslim family members about his conversion, said an area source who spoke with villagers and Christian sources.
