Boko Haram Attacks Church And Community In Adamawa, Borno Leaving 90 People Dead And Several People Injured On Sunday

 
Gun men believed to be the dreadful Boko Haram had doubled attacked two communities in Adamawa, Borno.
Their first attack was at a community in North-Central part of Borno State, killing at least, 50 people on Sunday. The same cruel fate befell worshipers in a church in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State when about 40 people including two policemen were killed, also on same Sunday. About 90 people died in the two incidents.
According to a police, the dreadful groups after killing people, set their houses on fire. Police sources said the attackers who came in large number and wore military camouflage, invaded the community at about 5pm on Sunday. Residents initially mistook them for soldiers until it dawned on them that they were actually Boko Haram men.
Meanwhile the attack at the church in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State was during church service where the Christians had gathered .
A resident, who identified himself as Moses, said though he could not ascertain the death toll, many people were killed.

Eye witnesses claimed that some houses were also attacked by the gunmen, who took some men hostage, while two policemen, an inspector and a sergeant, who were on guard in the church, were killed on the spot.

 This is total insanity and when will all these killings stop?. God help Nigeria.
