Khalid al-Barnawi escaped from a Nigerian prison when it was attacked on the evening of July 5, 2022. He had been captured by Nigerian military forces in 2016. He is also known as Mohammed Usman. He was born in Nigeria in 1976. He was reported to be a leader of a Nigeria-based terrorist part of Boko Haram commonly called Ansaru. He sought to establish an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria. He has close ties to al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and has sought to target Westerners, including Americans. He and Ansaru have committed multiple acts of terrorism against civilians and Nigerian government officials. He reportedly helped plan the May 2011 kidnapping of a British and an Italian engineer, who remained hostages until they were killed in March 2012. On November 26, 2012, Ansaru members raided a police station and freed detained terrorists. Ansaru also claimed responsibility for the December 19, 2012 kidnapping of a French engineer in northwestern Nigeria, and the February 16, 2013 kidnapping and subsequent execution of seven construction workers from Britain, Greece, Lebanon, and Italy. The US Department of State was offering a $5 million reward for information that helped to capture him.

• May Khalid al-Barnawi be touched in his heart by the loving and peaceful attitudes of the "people of the Cross". May God send him dreams and visions asking him, like He asked Saul of Tarsus: "Why are you persecuting me?" May he receive God's love, peace and healing, and be reedemed from darkness to light, for Jesus' sake; may his life be completely turned around. May love and peace win, not hatred and violence. We know who has won - Jesus, our Prince of Peace. — Kit Sune (Feb. 22, 2015 1:22 p.m.)
• Dear Lord, Only you can reach down and rescue this man's heart of stone and turn it into a heart of flesh. Please convict his spirit and show him that what he is doing is sinful and against your will. His heart is empty without You in it. Thy will be done, Father! In the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen. — Toni (April 11, 2017 5:33 p.m.)

Heavenly father I don’t even know what to pray for. Ask your Holy Spirit to pray on my behalf For Khalid. I pray that you would protect the people who he tries to hurt and that he would know You are real and actively fighting against him. I pray that this knowledge would lead him to revelation of You. I ask that You would choose him as one of Your own and that You would use him to lead others to You. I ask that You would give him the gift of evangelism and that he would be a powerful force for You. Gift him with Your Holy Spirit and use him to lead his sons and daughters to Christ. I ask that he would actively seek to spread Christianity around him. Use his gifts to fight against the evil that he now represents. I ask this as your daughter, by the power of Jesus shed blood and in all humility. Amen — Emma (Jan. 01, 2020 5:56 a.m.)
