Unfortunately, the violence towards Christians in Nigeria continues to increase. Yesterday Compass Direct reported that there were seven more Christians killed in Bauchi State on Sunday, as well as another church destroyed.
“I saw seven dead bodies of some of the Christians killed,” Yusufu told Compass by phone. “The situation is terrible, and I am about to go out to other parts of the town, to see the extent of the damage caused by the attackers.”
Yusufu said that many other Christians were injured.
“Some of them have been taken to the General Hospital here, while others are being treated at home by medical personnel who are Christians,” he said.
All churches have cancelled services.
Today, the CBN News aired a segment with Senegal leader President Abdoulaye Wade who is offering to host a delegation of Muslims and Christians from northern Nigeria in Senegal. Wade believes that there can be peace.
Please pray for the people of Nigeria and especially those in the Boka Haram sect who are the ones inflicting the persecution. May the Lord bless the efforts of all who are presenting the opportunity to have peace.
