Suspected Islamist Militants Kill Six At Deeper Life Church In Gombe-BBC
Gunmen have attacked a church in north-east Nigeria killing at least six people, the church's pastor says.
Johnson Jauro said the killings took place when gunmen burst into his Deeper Life Church in Gombe, capital of Gombe state.
He said his wife was among those killed. Ten other people were injured.
Nigeria has recently experienced a surge in ethnic and sectarian violence. The government declared a state of emergency in parts of the country.
"The attackers started shooting sporadically. They shot through the window of the church, and many people were killed including my wife," Mr Jauro told Reuters news agency.
"Many members who attended the church service were also injured."
The Islamic group Boko Haram has recently carried out a string of attacks, including the bombing of a church in the capital Abuja which killed dozens of people on Christmas Day.
President Goodluck Jonathan has vowed to "crush" the group.
On Sunday at least 50 people died in the eastern state of Ebonyi in clashes between two ethnic groups over a land dispute.

This is not an abuse
The name and meaning of islam is not what we r talking now, what we r saying is way an manner u practice this islam. The question here is that: does what u practice truly reflect the meaning of islam?
And of what use would that be
And of what use would that be than to cause more harvoc nd bloodshed. As a true christian,the only way to keep peace is not by lookn for trouble nd allowing God to fight for you. If you do what you are claiming to do,how do you differentiate urself from their barbaric acts?
Please stop abusing
Please stop abusing "anyway"what ever we people will tell you i think it well not benefit you with any thing. What ever you people will say weather positively or negetively about islam you know it.islam is the only way for peace onless if you dont know what is the real name of islam. For example as usual you apsolutely know that nigeria was full of trabalism upto know we does not know our right is that, let me give you a tifical example go and see a countries where muslims are governing people you will see weather islam is for peace or not. You know every that was going on with you people it is only that you are lacking the truth what ever will happen you know about it.. Then after it happen you will turn to us b cos we dont know what we are doing kooo ...
U don't need any convictiom
Brothers in the north why do u keep enstranging yrself from God.Examine Niger,Somalia,Mali etc,d north will be worse than these countries if Nigeria breaks and yr sins will make u poorer.Many of u in d south are beggars.
Blood Hound
It is your oozing nonoo mouth that should be shut up. What does your god do with human blood? is Islam synonymous with madness? Well, you will soon know that that madness has it's limit. Murderer us sprat!
Ignorance!
So you no sabi say portharcourt wey him former name na Igweocha say na ndigbo get am?
@OSITA DIOKA, I am done
I am done talking my bros. You will come to me later and apologize for telling you the truth . Racism is even in CIA head office, it's not something that can be wiped out easily. I have been to Iraq and I can't speak more of what went down out there. You got your info from
second hand . What happened during the 60thies will be a childs play if history decides to repeat her self. GEJ is the perfect stooge to cause havoc, I hope you
are reading the news? What happened to the Iranian weapon found at the Port? Do you know how many made it to their destination before that one was found? Syria will fall on your face and after the fall you
will then see religious conflict as it is now happening in
Egypt. Obama love black Africa and that's why he us
trying to contain crisis in Nigeria and don't hope on
France or Britain cos those countries are the real
sponsors of terrorist and most recently Iran and Saudi.
Its only God can save Nigeria
Has i av said ..its only God that can say let us continue to pray and He will surely anwser
Major Gideon Okar - Why we struck
How many more lives have been lost to the Hausa-Fulani butchery since our execution in 1990? Obviously they run into their tens of thousands. We knew this would happen and that was what we wanted to prevent. Because of the possibility of failure we wanted to leave the message which some termed unacceptable and others, premature.
Nigerians can be forgiven for failure to understand the necessity of excising those states in 1990. But now, how many millions of lives, how much destruction of property, infrastructure and places of worship will it take to convince skeptics that excision is the only way to stop it.
We, that laid down our lives to save you:
Major Gideon Orkar, Captain N.H. Empere, Captain P.A.Dakolo, Capt AA Nonju, Lt. AE Akogun, Lt. CN Odey, Lt. Cyril Ozualor, Lt. NEO Deji, 2/Lt AB Umukoro, 2/Lt EJ Ejesuku, SSgt Julius Itua, Sgt Martins Ademokhai, Sgt. Pius Ilegar and over a hundred others
Ndi Igbo will not protest!
Finally, the conditions that led to the Biafran War in 1967 are still present today, and are getting worse. Once again, the Igbos have been killed en masse repeatedly in Northern Nigeria by the Hausa-Fulani.
These States then cannot be separated from the sponsorship of, and responsibility for the terrorism unleashed by extremist Muslims in the name of Sharia, usually against non-Muslim Nigerians, but especially against the Igbo living in those states.
Sharia has made the breakup of Nigeria irrevocable and irreversible; Nigeria is irredeemable. This is the final nail in the coffin, as they say, of Nigeria.
Biafra lives. Actualization is a matter of time. Time is on the side of the oppressed. God is on the side of the oppressed.
Guy blok ur mouth
Mr wise,it's obvious dat u are just talking without thinking.who is scared of war?who is scared to split?.if u don't av any better thing 2 say pls be mute.may God help Nigeria and Nigerians.ameeen
What makes us one country?
What makes us one country? They are different in thinking, dressing, and language. The north is retrogressive. Most of the negative indices about Nigeria are held by the north. Check them up: poliomyelitis in today’s civilised world is in the north, unacceptably rates of infant-maternal mortalities in the north, gross violation of human rights in the north, extreme poverty in the north, unacceptable level of illiteracy in the north, low value to human lives in the north, etc. Haba! Any country with large number of Hausa people is usually retrogressive in development. Ghana is moving forward because they don’t allow the few Hausa people to man the government. Why are Hausas so retrogressive? Is it their religion? Are they a cursed people? Can someone answer me please?
A mumu called President
Please, it will be nice we use decent language.He who abuses his parents will also get disrespect from his children.
Don,t blame Gowon
I think everybody is beginning 2 reason like fools. Now Obasanjo is d best thing 2 happen 2 ds country 4 wiping out Udi & Zango Kataf due 2 d uprising there as @ then. It is people like u dat castigated OBJ 4 doing wat he did. 2day he is a hero b/c JEJ refuse 2 handle d issue @ hand like he did. Let us support JEJ now, he may b our hero 2morrow.
the end game for nigeria
it is finished ooooo
There is more to Boko Haram than Meet the Eyes
Not long ago, some of our Northern Governors introduced Sharia Laws, without apparent reason, other than the emergence of a southern Christian as the President of this country, in the person of President Obasanjo. There is no moral or socioeconomic explanation for the introduction of Sharia Law in those states. The introduction is a catalyst for the prevailing audacity of boko haram and the escalations of their crusade. The legislative stamp given Sharia Law via the legislative actions of the governors and their respective Houses of Assembly goes to the root of the mystery surrounding the evolution of boko haram and their operational network.
Granted, we do not who they are, but they want Sharia Law, the same law that the Governors approved of.
I sincerely agree with you.
I sincerely agree with you. This is just the best way to end these problems cause its really gettin of hand..:)
why is that the targets are
why is that the targets are churches and not mosques?
split
yes splitting is the best thing that can happen to the north.....the north does not lack anything. Whatever the southerners are boasting of today is there in the north.....but the northerners look the other way cos their eyes r glued to d oil in the south. the north has oil and it would be cheeper to build the refineries there, they have vast land for agriculture enough to feed it, they have livestocks.....just name it. I think even if it would take some time to build our refineries it would be very cheep for us to import the pms from niger. WE ARE FAR BETTER UP WITHOUT THE SOUTH. And above all, northerners are more sincere to deal with than the southerners which will make our economy better. Mtcheeeeew
Boko-Haram are Real Cowards
Cowards hide like thiefs and steal the show only when men are not around. So shameful, even a 2 year old baby can set a place on fire and run to hide in order not to be caught. Real men stay in the open and fight their way. When the Niger Deltans were fighting their cause, they stayed in the open and we got to know the faces of General Tompolo and the rest. The Boko-Haram cowards do not have the courage to fight like men but can only ambush the armless and innocent civilians to kill. Shameeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

DIVISION IS NOT AN OPTIOBN
I am really concerned about the news out of Nigeria. We all have relatives in Nigeria. Its going to affect you if you have a relative or a friend married to someone in the middle belt or the core north. Like one person asked what happens to Zago katafs are they going to relocate, the Okenes, the Kwaras where we may have high volume of christanity and Gombe Katongo.
Its very difficult to contemplate the impact as it affected Nigerians on Bakasi issues. The papetrators are religious bigots and criminal covered by some political interest who GED has refused assess into power. They have cordinated the mercenary of alkada to create mehem.
It will face out like niger Delta crisis.
Buhari is Broke
But Buhari is broke. If he retires from politics, what do you expect him to eat. Remember he has no alternative means of livelihood. Babangida may choose to assist his retirement by donating some of his loot realized during the Gulf-windfall.
Islam is a religion of peace, walahi Talahi!
Muslim man: Islam is a religion of peace! Islam is a religion of peace! Islam is a religion of peace!
Christian man: okay! okay! now, please remove the sword from my neck!
Could you please tell me if you would still remain a Muslim if not that you would be killed if you denounce Islam according to the injunction of the devilish occultic book called koran?
I don't know what would have befallen me if I have not escaped from Yauri as an ex-Muslim. Yes, I was able to resist the hope of 72 virgins and bright eyes men in paradise. What kind of religion will be promising stupid orgy to it faithful if not Islam?. I implore all of you to read the personal life of paedophile prophetess Muhammad and make your conclusions on his psyche. As for me, he was simply suffering from personality complex and hallucination.
Now you want to kill me for speaking my mind? sorry, I am no more in Yauri, I am in California....ka jira ni, sen dawo gobe (wait for me I will return tomorrow.
Demonic cult
Virgin pigs await those vermin in hell! I hereby solemnly declare that henceforth in honor of each victim of Boko Haram and Islam I will get a copy of the unholy Koran which I will desecrate with excreta and urine before setting it on fire with kerosene. I will capture this noble mission and post on the Internet youtube. It is time to start treating this madness with clinical psychiatric procedure. Their violence should also translate to the defilement of their satanic verse. I call on other well-meaning people to join me in this noble endeavor.
