Over the years, I have testified in Washington about the atrocities unfolding in Nigeria, including in my own Ondo state. On a personal level, I have felt compelled to open my home in order to help those in need, giving them shelter and protection while their government does nothing.
I remember saying goodbye to 14-year-old Hauwa as she left the safety of my compound as one of the toughest moments of my life. Her “crime” was attempting to worship peacefully at church, but still, I wondered if I would see her again and if she would even make it home safely.
