The Trump administration honored an 83-year-old Muslim cleric from Nigeria this week who saved hundreds of Christians in 2018 — when he hid them in his home and mosque during a terrorist attack.

The State Department honored Imam Abubakar Abdullahi at an awards ceremony on Wednesday for his actions on June 23, 2018, when “ethnic Fulani herdsmen, who are predominantly Muslim, launched coordinated attacks on 10 villages in Barkin Ladi, killing hundreds of ethnic Berom farmers, who are predominantly Christian.”
