Boko Haram slaughters Christians, burns churches in Adamawa -Clerics

Christian leaders in Adamawa State are worried that the Christians are being systematically eliminated in the areas occupied by Boko Haram fighters in the state.

The Christian leaders, in a communiqué issued at the end of a one day meeting held at Bishop Shehaan Pastoral Centre in Yola, the state capital, on Tuesday, expressed displeasure with the recent takeover of six local government areas of Madagali, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South and parts of Hong by the Islamic extremists.

In the communiqué, which was read by the Archbishop of the LCCN, Most Rev. Dr. Nemuel Babba, the leaders alleged that from reports they had gathered from people in the occupied territories,  the militants slaughtered Christian parents and brothers in the presence of their wives and children.
They equally said the violent Islamic sect had destroyed existing churches in the areas.

The communiqué read, “We reject in strong terms insinuations from certain quarters that the insurgents are mere bunch of trigger-happy miscreants, whose intentions are to settle certain scores with the government, owing to the towering revelations of attacks mostly targeted at Christians.”
