Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
Islamic terrorists launched a day of violence in Nigeria against both Christians and Muslims on Sunday leaving more than 60 dead.
Boko Haram bombed a crowded mosque and Muslim restaurant in the city of Jos. Muslim community lawyer Ahmed Garba told Fox News that 51 people died in the twin attacks and were buried on Monday. An additional 67 were wounded and remain hospitalized.
A witness said that the bomber at the mosque appeared to be targeting cleric Sani Yahaya.
“He is a great Islamic scholar who has spoken out against Boko Haram, and that is why we believe he was the target,” Danladi Sani told The Associated Press.
The terrorists also attacked an evangelical Christian church in Potiskum along with a campaign of arson against villages that burned over 300 homes.
Boko Haram has ramped up violence in response to a call by ISIS terrorists for increased activity during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the attacks and said that he will protect the rights of Nigerians to freely worship.
In the last week the terrorist group has killed over 300 people.
