John 16:2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
Officials in Borno State are reporting a massacre over the weekend in the Christian town of Shani carried out by Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram.
The communications with the town were cut off during the attack and officials say they are just now learning the scope of the attack.
A resident of the town told the Nigerian Daily Post that Boko Haram descended on the town around 8 p.m. local time on Saturday.
“They came on about 10 motorcycles from Gwaskara axis, well armed with Ak47 rifles, improvised explosive devices and petrol bombs, wrecking havoc without confrontation as there was no military operatives, nor police to assist the armless civilians who were running for dear lives,” the witness said.
The witness said at least two dozen people were killed and many businesses looted.
“A boy ran into my shop and said his father and elder brother had been shot. He was only wearing shorts, no top and sweating despite the wintry weather. I shut down my shop immediately, leaving some items outside,” business-owner Shuabu Lawal said.
God help these precious Christians to be strong & of very good courage in the face of death. If these cowards & terrorists kill you & you’re in the Lord, you will be as Stephen in the Book of Acts who when stoned to death looked up to the heavens as they opened up to him and received him into the presence of the King of Heaven & our Lord Jesus Christ. You will have a martyrs reward for your remaining faithful to your Lord & Savior. Take courage & don’t give in to these horrific monsters who do not know our God.
They will get their punishment when they stand before God on that day of Judgement. They will have no excuse. You’re in our prayers.
