Ten More Christians Massacred In Nigeria By Islamists Boko Haram

Ten more Christians along with two policemen were massacred in Chibok, Northern Nigeria, by the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram on Saturday night. Although they haven't claimed ownership of the slaughter, who else would do such a thing?

"The attackers came in around 9:00 pm chanting 'Allahu Akbar', which made us suspect they are Boko Haram," said a local government official on condition of anonymity.

"They moved into selected homes in the predominantly Christian part of the town and slaughtered 10 people like sheep," the official added.

"Who else apart from Boko Haram members would go into homes and slit the throats of 10 people?" said another local official.

"They came armed with guns but decided to butcher their victims."

Local resident Ezekiel Damina said: "The men came in large numbers and went into homes which... were carefully selected, and slaughtered 10 people while shouting 'Allahu Akbar' (God is Greatest).

"They then set houses in the area on fire. They just sacked the neighbourhood."

They also allegedly targeted border posts which left the two policemen dead and other churches in the area.

Around 50 gunmen in cars and on motorcycles carried out attacks on three churches and border posts with neighbouring Cameroon, opening fire on police, residents said.

Among the security posts burned were offices for immigration, customs and the secret police and a quarantine building in the city of Gamboru Ngala, about 140 kilometres (80 miles) from the Boko Haram stronghold of Maiduguri.

Gunmen went into town "chanting 'Allahu Akbar' and burned down the divisional police station and three churches," said Hamidu Ahmad, a resident.

"I saw two bodies in police uniform not far from the police station. One of them was sprawled by the roadside while the other was seated in a police van," another resident, Sani Kani said.

Their God ought to be very proud of his savages.
