Boko Haram kills 44 people praying at a Mosque in Borno state

According to Associated Press, over 44 people praying in a mosque in Borno State were gunned down by suspected members of Boko Haram on Sunday August 11th. The heavily armed terrorists were said to be wearing military camouflage uniforms when they attacked the worshiping Muslims. Over 25 people were left with gun shot wounds.

The terrorists also attacked another group of people at Ngom village, 5 kilometers outside Maiduguri. There they killed another 12. It is not immediately clear why these attacks were carried out.

    3. Thank u! The sooner people understand the boko haram is political, the better. Besides, more muslims are being killed by "them". Borno state is now a ghost town bcoz of "their" activities. Am glad this has made the news as its usually only when christians are killed that we hear about it. How about May God bring an end to this rubbish.

    8. @ Anon 9:27 how stupid could you get. I see how much you hunger for blood. Its just so sad. Your life is finished only if you knew.. And @ Anon 7 :18 how stupid can you get? This people are not muslims nor fighting for a religious reason. So sad they had to start in the north where most of them are muslims. This is a political fight of power and not for religious reasons. They want a distraction from the real reason behind there stupidity by thinking its religious. And yeah we are giving them. So sad! The government so stupid like you all with the dumb comments.....

    2. Anon 7:10pm just accept that boko haram is ISLAMIC SECT and no true muslim condemned their activities when they were killing christians.... I bet u soon boko haram would come to an end now that they have started entering mosque and let's not pretend as if we don't know people (buhari and co)behind all these.

      Delete
    3. Boko Haram is an ISLAMIC SECT; let's face it no muslim leader has ever come out in strong terms to condemn their atrocities. We shld all realise a fact: evil does not prevail because evil men wreck havoc but evil prevails when good men fail to act. Let the so called muslim leaders and 'patroits' come together and see this as a collective fight.
      PS These evil men killed children who were in school, so why are we surprised if they now turn on dia own kind.

  19. The terrorists wore military uniforms?wow!
    When Al-Mustapha got released,a lot of people here said it was some sort of trade between the FG and BH...can you lot now see that there can never be any kind of deal entered into with those bloody shagnuts?
    Fact is,until the real sponsors of BH are fished out,their insurgency would never stop.
    Who then are the sponsors?I would be damned if your president and his cohorts don't know who they are.

    3. Ooh! Well, as far as i am concerned, islam preaches peace, YES PEACE!
      These cunts ain't muslims as their mandate is to destroy. Bokom Haram members are deviants of the society. Nigeria belongs to all of us for God's sake. No where in the Quran (Al-Kitab - "The Book") is ordered by Allah (The God) to physically kill anyone, whether a Christian or a kafir. See Chapter 109 of the holy quran (thats if you'd like to enlighten ya'self)
      The sect is not a deliberate attempt by
      Muslims to attack Christians; if it is, they wouldn't have killed these muslims, no adherents of Islam would subject the country to killings, bombings and other gory attacks the way they had done. their main desideratum is to create befuddlement among the diff ethnics. And it seems like we are already playing into their hands by succumbing to their nefarious ploys to
      incite religious, ethnic hatred and division among us. Lets try and understand things better nigerians! *drops phone

  89. Pls don't associate this with religion (Islam or Christianity). People should not confuse religion with culture nor Judge a religion by the actions of its followers. All religions of the world advocate peace, just that some followers in a religion have different views or rather choose to use religion as a cover for their atrocities. The acts of boko rahama sec is completely outrageous This is share madness, and wickedness.

  91. Whenever I read about killings done by dis sect, it makes me sad and question the existence of our government, "worshiping muslims" I hope this answers the question to all who do not believe the fight for liberation from BOKO HARAM is not a fight against muslims but against a menace with an islamic headline. God be with us all..

    ReplyDelete
  92. I read some people questioning the religious affiliation of BH, well they are muslims. They claim, it's not a new thing. They have finally run out of christians to kill now they have turned on the people who have secretly applauded and sponsored them. When this menace started, I expected the people of Islam faith to come and denounce their action, but they all sat put, it wasn't their problem, they were doing a justified duty, wiping away infidels. Well now you know how it feels to be attacked in the place you feel safest. Do I feel sorry for the dead, wetin concern me, I am still mourning my many brothers and sisters. Where are those who were jumping and pumping their fist RVP style when bombs exploded in kano, hope they are jumping now too? FYI for the fact their latest victims were muslims, doesn't mean they are not muslims, they are. So all the suicide bombings in the middle east killing muslims are by christians abi? Go siddon!!!

  107. I can't understand any of this back home.Thought bokos are northerners,so why would they murder their own muslim brothers in the mosque? they are suppose one,muslims and northerners.This confirms that really this guys are not Nigerians.Northerners and muslims love them selves and would't murder their brother.Nigeria government should tighten its borders please.Why can't the gov get a surveillance cam across northern states to be able to monitor things.I can't understand that country.
