Boko Haram locks worshipers in church, kills 56 near Chibok

Boko Haram militants today June 29 invaded Kautikari,
Kwada and Nguragila villages near Chibok in Borno State,
killing at least 56 people and razing numerous homes. The
militants dressed in military camouflage, stormed the three
villages around 8:45 a.m. in a convoy of sports utility
vehicles when many Christians were at Sunday services
and unleashed terror on villagers for several hours. Their
killing spree reportedly lasted till 12:30 p.m.

Ibrahim Musa, a resident of Kautikari village, told SR that
the attackers locked worshipers inside the EYN Church and
sprayed bullets on them killing nine worshipers and later
set the church ablaze.

The terrorists also killed 38 people in Kwada village and
nine in Nguragila village. They also set fire on the Deeper
Life Church, the Church of Christ In Nations (COCIN) and
several houses. Manaseh Allen, a Chibok-based youth
leader, also confirmed today’s coordinated attacks on the
three villages…

“There is confusion everywhere in
the Chibok area. If the attackers
could succeed in day time, what if
they come in the night?” he
questioned.
