When his village in Nigeria was attacked, 10-year-old Ibrahim witnessed his father’s brutal murder. Then the insurgents came after him.
One of the insurgents took out his machete and struck the boy’s skull. “After he cut me on the head, I fainted,” recalls Ibrahim. “I could not move. I later dragged myself under a tree for shade. They came back again, they lifted me, they thought I was dead. They dug a hole and threw me in it and covered me with sand.”
Today, several months after the dramatic incident, the large scar on his head is a painful reminder of what the boy had to endure.
