From Bahaikipedia
Enoch Olinga (1926 - 1979) was a Hand of the Cause of God and Knight of Bahá'u'lláh for British Cameroon.
He was born to a Christian family of the Iteso ethnic group in Uganda. In 1952 he became a Bahá'í in Kampala. In 1953 he became the first pioneer to British Cameroon, and was given the title Knight of Bahá'u'lláh for that country. In October 1957 Shoghi Effendi appointed him as a Hand of the Cause of God, after which he travelled all over the world.
On 16 September 1979, Olinga, his wife and three of his children were murdered by unknown gunmen.
