Boko Haram Terrorists Attack Yobe Community, Kill Pastor, 13 Others; Burn Church, Houses, Cars.

The Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād, has attacked Kwari, a town in Geidam Local Government Area of Yobe State

Geidam is the council area of the immediate former Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali.

It is located 177 kilometres away from Damaturu, the state capital, and is about 40 kilometres away from Nigeria/Niger Republic border.

SaharaReporters learnt that the gunmen during the attack killed the pastor of the Church of Christ In Nations (COCIN), Luka Levong.

Thirteen other villagers including the church treasurer, Maina Abdullahi were also killed by the terrorists, an eyewitness said.

The source added that the gunmen burnt down the church, many houses and cars.

The attack, which occurred around 1 am on Friday was not repelled, another resident told SaharaReporters.

“14 people were killed in Geidam this morning, many houses and the church were burnt,” he said.

Other residents who had retired to their homes were forced to flee into the bushes as the gunmen stormed the village, shooting sporadically.

“The victims were taken to the Specialist Hospital, Geidam,” the source added.

Yobe, a state in Nigeria’s Northeastern region has experienced a series of brutal attacks that have resulted in the devastating death of thousands of people.

Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around Lake Chad.

They have resumed with churches again. May the fire of God speedily locate these senseless creatures.

Righthussle:
Christians will leave their powerful god of Israel that they give money to every week to blame for not using his power to save the pastor and the worshippers. Na Nigeria military dem go begin blame now.

Boko Haram will one day become history. Rest in peace to the death.

But I don't understand something, how is it possible that a powerful god, an almighty god that is capable of protecting you in the time of trouble will call you to do some work for him and then when you're in trouble the god will not use power to save you.
