A set of the Boko Haram fighters, armed with guns and
explosives, on Sunday killed 22 worshippers at a church service
in Waga Chakawa, Adamawa State.
Witnesses told Reuters that insurgents set off bombs and
fired into the congregation in the Catholic Church in a village in
Adamawa State.
They said the insurgents also burnt houses and
took residents hostage during the four-hour siege.
The spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Yola, Rev. Father Raymond
Danbouye, said those killed were buried at a funeral on Monday.
In the last one week, over 100 persons have been killed in
attacks by members of the terror group. These attacks, according to
the United Nations, led to 6,000 persons fleeing to neighbouring countries like
Cameroon and Niger Republic. On January 14 for instance, a car bomb
exploded in Maiduguri, killing about 70 people. Communities like
Kwaljiri, Kaya, Ngawo Fate, Limanti, Njaba, Yahuri, Mude, Wala and Alau in the
Damboa, Konduga and Gwoza Local Government Areas have all been sacked by
the terrorists.
Lord have mercy! May the souls of the departed rest in peace. Amen. "It shall not be well with all Boko Haram members and her sponsors - you will all roast in hell ;eternal damnation" what do you gain?.
ReplyDeleteProf Ango Abdulahi should find a way of containing these people without civilian casualty while taking Ihejirika to ICC in Hague.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect, when some Nigerians who should know better make unguarded statements against the soldiers fighting to protect the people? Boko Haram is enboldened by such utterances while the morale of the soldiers are dampened.
ReplyDeleteI hope patience Jonathan will post nbu snd wike to go snf ensure peace
ReplyDeleteIhijerika who was doing well with the soldiers did not get support. Jonathan who said sponsors of boko haram are known is yet to deal with them. Instead he is encouraging them.
