Boko Haram kills Worshipers during a Christian Service

Members of Boko Haram were said to have stormed a church in Attagara, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State and killed nine worshipers.

The attack occurred barely 48 hours after the murder of the Emir of Gwoza, Alhaji Idrissa Timat, by the sect in a highway ambush.

According to Punch, the insurgent arrived at the EYN Church Monday and opened fire on worshippers at about 9.30am.

Punch also learnt that the killing of the nine worshippers led to a reprisal by the villager and their neighbours from Agapalwa that resulted in the death of 37 insurgents, a police source confirmed the killings.

Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in the state, Rev. Titus Pona, confirmed the incident on the telephone according to Punch.

A resident of the village who fled to Maiduguri, Matthew Adamu, said three of the insurgents were also arrested.

Adamu   added, “The attack occurred at 9.30am at the EYN Church while the service was going on.

“Our church has some men who   provide security,   especially when service is going on. As we were holding our service on Sunday, we started hearing gunshots and everybody fled. Some jumped through the windows and ran into the bushes. Some who live close to the church managed to run to their homes.

“Men in the community however mobilised immediately  and pursued the Boko Haram men.

“They   came with motorcycles and a car but our people killed many of them and arrested three.

“I later learnt that nine people in the church were shot dead’’.

Attempts to get official confirmation from police and military authorities were unsuccessful as the mobile telephone lines of their spokesmen did not go through.

I hope the leaders who sponsors this devilish sect now understand that, they have gone out of their control. They have began to kill not only ordinary Christians and Muslims but even traditional leaders. Next they will be coming for their sponsors. Thats Life. What you sow is what your reap.
