A Nigerian gang have struck again- this time attacking two churches in the North of the country.
The Islamic group, known as Boko Haram gunned down the churches early on Tuesday morning. It is reported that at least 6 Christians were slaughtered as a result.
This is yet another attack on the Christian community this year. Boko Haram have been carrying out massacres in Northern Nigeria in a bid to impose sharia law on the state.
A series of killings also took place on Christmas day in central and Northern Nigeria last year, where around 44 people died.
The state continues to grieve while these militants run riot in the country, targeting innocent Christians.
