A kidnapped Christian in Nigeria declined to be released so he could continue aiding a Muslim captive in her 80s, [said] the elderly woman in a social media video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The kidnapped woman, Hauwa Adamu Kahutu, is the mother of a well-known singer in Nigeria, Dauda Adamu Kahutu, also known as Rarara. She and the abducted Christian, Bala Timothy, were eventually released on July 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn spite of being a Christian, he helped me in doing almost everything,\u201d Hauwa Kahutu says in a video posted on Facebook by group of Hausa music artists associated with her son. \u201cHe brought water for me to do ablution whenever it was time for me to say my Islamic prayers. My eyes were covered and it was difficult for me to pray, but Bala Timothy would assist me during my prayers and other tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBala Timothy, I thank you for being kind to me and helping me survive our ordeal in the hands of our captors,\u201d she says, with her singer son beside her and Bala Timothy shown in a separate screen. \u201cGod bless you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
