Boko Haram gunned down 97 people praying in mosques during Ramadan

According to a report by AFP, Boko Haram extremists gunned down nearly 100 Muslims praying in mosques in the northeast during the holy month of Ramadan. Read below...
The attack Wednesday night on the town of Kukawa came the day after the Islamic extremist group attacked a village 35 kilometers (22 miles) away and killed another 48 men and boys, according to witnesses who counted the dead.
The people of Kukawa were in several mosques, praying ahead of breaking their daylong fast, when the extremists attacked. They killed 97 people, mainly men, said self-defense spokesman Abbas Gava and a senior government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to give information to reporters.
Gava said his group's fighters in Kukawa said some militants also broke into people's homes, killing women and children as they prepared the evening meal.

Kukawa is 180 kilometers (110 miles) northeast of Maiduguri, the biggest city in northeast Nigeria and the birthplace of Boko Haram.

Nigeria's homegrown extremist group often defiles mosques where it believes clerics espouse too moderate a form of Islam. Wednesday's attack follows a directive from the Islamic State group for fighters to increase attacks during Ramadan. Boko Haram this year became the IS group's West African franchise.

On Tuesday night, the extremists invaded the village of Mussaram, ordered men and women to separate and then opened fire on the men and boys, witnesses said.

"A total of 48 males died on the spot while 17 others escaped with serious injuries," said Maidugu Bida, a self-defense official? based in nearby Monguno who helped bury the dead.

On Monday, two suicide bombers blew themselves up prematurely in a village outside Maiduguri just an hour before the arrival of Nigeria's Vice President Yemi Osinbanjo. He visited some of the hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the 5-year-old Islamic uprising that has killed more than 13,000 people and driven 1.5 million from their homes.

Some of those killed in attacks in the past month had only just returned to rebuild towns and villages recaptured this year from Boko Haram by a multinational army.

      I just know one thing for sure, bokoharam didn't just decide to spring up and start killing people actively after Jonathan won the elections. Northern people in high positions planted them there.The poor man wanted to rule a country and had absolutely no clues on how to run a military, hence his seemingly dismal performance.
      What do we now do with a president who most people think have a hand in forming that same sect. For all our own sakes, it had just better not be true. Because this means even if buhari manages to control this guys...only northerners will ever be able to rule nigeria.

If they were fasting, they won't kill people who were praying in the mosque, which is supposed to be a sacred place, a place of worship! They don't know God at all!

    Muslims cannot live with other non-Muslims and they cannot live among themselves in harmony. They cannot figure out which sect of Islam cult is true and Mohammad and Allah are not helping them in this matter. They are all waiting for the judgment day for true justice. In the meantime they are destroying each others mosques and butchering innocent people mercilessly. Islam is evil.Run away from it and embrace

No place Where God is worshiped should be burnt be it a mosque, church or synagogue. It's so sad they do this in the name of Islam. Terrorism has no religion . Islam preaches peaceful living with ur neighbours who are called people of the book in the Quaran. Islam says that if u kill 1 innocent soul Wether muslim or christian or Jew it would be like u killed an entire generation and God's wrath will be on u. Islam teaches that there is no compulsion in religion. The media just had to report this one. More than half of those affected are muslims. Sadly I spoke 2 one christian from the IDP and she said this people have no religion cause she knew some christians who went to join this set of bastards. Please all of u saying Islam is evil why not read. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) most loved uncle was not a muslim. Please go and read about islam and stop making comments based on the media
