Our correspondent reliably gathered that the yet to be identified gunmen were said to have stormed the Madala market and made straight to a shop believed to be that of some Igbo traders and ordered them to recite the Holy Quran of which they could not.
The gunmen who were not satisfied with the development opened fire on the five people at close range leaving them dead immediately.

I can smell war!

Hell Fire things

Secularism vs. Islamic fundamentalism... We're heading for a third world war people, be prepared

Where is Madagascar mkt? Which state? , however any igbo man who is still not Supporting Biafra at this time is a fool.

All this Boko haram smoke screen is to divert attention. The Muslims are out to kill all Igbo christians.

Well the battle is on, and no more going back. It is now on never. This is the time to call all Igbos to open their eyes.

The mods should please take down this thread.

And some useless fool out there will come n preach one Nigeria, how these murderers are only misguided and not 'real muslims'! What validates islam other than d quran? Same quran that if one who isn't muslim touches or handles it, idiots will kill d person.

What are we doing sharing the same geographical space n name when there is no tolerance and one cannot live in peace because mad ppl believe in some crazy ideology?
