Islamist group Boko Haram massacres 30 Christian students in Nigeria

    CBN NEWS – Christian college students in Nigeria were executed this week by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, according to Open Doors USA, a ministry to the persecuted church.

    Open Doors reports masked members of Boko Haram invaded the off-campus housing of Federal Polytechnic College late Monday. The attackers reportedly separated the Muslim students from Christians, and then massacred up to 30 Christians.

    The attack took place in the city of Mubi in northeastern Nigeria.

    “Open Doors is calling on Christians in the West to bear this horrific burden with our brothers and sisters in Mubi and Adamawa state,” ministry spokesman Jerry Dykstra said. “Nigeria is becoming a killing field.”

    “Many of those 700 victims are Christians. Boko Haram’s stated aim is to drive all Christians out of Nigeria and set up Sharia law in all of Nigeria,” he continued.

    Nigeria is ranked No. 13 on the 2012 Open Doors World Watch List of the worst persecutors of Christians.

“It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them…” – Deuteronomy 32:35

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven…” – Matthew 5:10-12

Maiduguri — Environmental officers yesterday recovered 87 more corpses of travelers killed by suspected Boko Haram gunmen during an attack on Maiduguri-Damaturu road near Benisheik town in Borno State on Tuesday.

This was in addition to 55 bodies earlier picked up on Wednesday, officials of the Borno State Environmental Protection Agency (BOSEPA) told journalists during a visit by Governor Kashim Shettima to the scene of the violence.

Heavily armed insurgents laid siege on Benisheik, Kaga Local Government Area on Tuesday evening, killing people and setting buildings ablaze.

They also blocked the Maiduguri-Damaturu highway, three kilometers away from the town, sorting out and slaughtering dozens of travelers.

Sorting out Muslims from non-Muslims?

Apart from the 142 travellers, also killed in the attack were 2 soldiers, 3 policemen and 14 villagers,bringing the total death toll to 161.

Yesterday, Shettima visited Benisheik where he condoled with the people and offered compensation to victims of the violence.
