Gunmen Attack Deeper Life Bible Church In Okene, Kill 15 Worshippers
Posted: August 6, 2012 - 23:21

By SaharaReporters, New York

Unidentified gunmen this evening opened fire in a crowded Deeper Life Church near the Federal College of Education in Okene, Kogi State, leaving 15 worshippers dead, and Governor Idris Wada vowing to smoke terrorists out of his State.
The perpetrators of the heinous crime, said the governor who cut short a Ramadan state dinner, are “wicked, devilish, ungodly and deserve no place in a same society.”

Several other worshippers, according to the local government chairman in the area, were critically wounded in the attack.
Emergency workers said the casualty count would most probably increase in a few hours. Soldiers and police from the Joint Task Force in the State have cordoned off the area.

Mr. Jacob Edi, Special Assistant to the governor on Media and Strategy, told SaharaReporters over the phone that the assailants arrived at the church at about 8:45p.m. local time, during a late evening church service. They cut off electricity supply and began shooting indiscriminately into the crowd. He said some of the worshippers who tried to escape from the premises were captured and their throats slashed.

According to a statement by Mr. Edi, the state executive council meeting was still on and the governor was working the phone with all relevant security officers in the state.

Following the attack, the state governor issued this statement:
Following Monday's dastardly attack on a christian worshippers in Okene, Kogi state, governor Idris Wada cut short a Ramadan state function dinner and summoned an emergency meeting of the state executive committee.

Furious about news of the unfortunate situation governor Wada vowed he will spare no resources in smoking terrorists out of Kogi state. According to him the perpetrators of the heinous crime are wicked, devilish, ungodly and deserve no place in a same society.

Kogi state, he said has always been known for peace any act capable of tarnishing the image of the state will not be tolerated at all.

He called on all citizens of the state to remain calm.

Also just heard it on Channels TV 10 PM news. Awful.

And in the same broadcast, an M.U.M.U like George Akume would say that BH is not a terrorist organization!

@Post

My heart bleeds for Nigeria. Is this how Nigeria is going to be now? Did I not say it time and time again that if our government cannot nip this boko haram menace in the bud, it will eventually spread all over Nigeria like a cancer? You see what's happening now? Today its Kogi state. Tomorrow (God forbid) it maybe a southern state or the Niger Delta.

I have suggested that GEJ should call on a SNC so that we can discuss the way forward as a nation or go our seperate ways amicably before more blood is shed senselessly. However, many Nigerians have blatantly refused this idea and said that they want to remain together in the geographical entity called Nigeria by fire by force even though we are not getting anywhere as a nation. I guess when these attacks hit close to home and our family members and friends are directly affected, maybe then we will come to our senses and see the urgency for a dialogue. We are only in 2012 and so many people have met their untimely deaths. By 2013, boko haram might spread its tentacles to the SS/SE/SW.

Islam has proved itself as Satan's most effectual Weapon of Mass Destruction(WMD). It is SATAN'S GREATEST INVENTION fed to minds with intrinsic evil proclivities for self-destruction.
However, to all islamists who already are feeling the guilt and emptiness of their deeds, you are not beyond redemption. JESUS SAVES!

Seriously i tink boko issue is getting outa hand and its gradually moving west..
Boko haram started in maidiguri like child play, nw its northern affair and its gradually moving kogi. Once dey gain enough ground in kogi they will move gradually to kwara since deir are large numbers muslims in that area too... May be dis country really needs to break rightnw before it gets uglier than this

Nigerian Christians in the North cannot remain passive. God is NOT a magician. Go to church with Guns. Pls. Hire those jobless youths in your communities as security guards.
