MorningStarNews.org reports: “Muslim extremists with swords in eastern Uganda on Monday (Aug. 19) killed a Christian for leading Muslims to Christ, sources said.

The assailants attacked Yowabu Sebakaki as he was returning home by bicycle to his native Nyanza village, Nyanza North Zone, Nyanza Parish, Mugiti Sub-County in Budaka District, Uganda. He was 52.

In June and July, Muslims had sent threatening messages to Sebakaki, including one that read, ‘We are aware of some secret meeting you are undertaking. You have to stop preaching as well as converting our faithful Muslims to Christianity, and if not, then soon we are coming for your life,’ according to his wife, Nambaluka Sebakaki, who had copied the messages to her phone.

After leading a discipleship class at 5:45 p.m. for new converts at a Christian’s house, Sebakaki was being transported home by David Nkomba on Nkomba’s bicycle.

‘Just when we were five kilometers from reaching the homestead, at around 6:20 p.m. a motorcycle came up just behind us, and in no given time Sebakaki was struck with an object which happened to be a ‘panga’ [long Somali sword] on the back near the the neck,’ Nkomba told Morning Star News. ‘He fell down and a then was cut by another panga at the head. Sebakaki became unconscious due to too much bleeding.’…”
