From the Christian Post:
Multiple sources have confirmed that about 25 to 30 Christian college students were massacred at a university in northeastern Nigeria late Monday night, causing Christians to pray for a "change of heart" among the extremist Islamist group Boko Haram to put a stop to the continued violence. …
The killings reportedly occurred in the late night hours on Oct. 1, when masked gunmen went door-to-door in the off-campus housing section of Federal Polytechnic College in Mubi, a city in the remote Adamawa State in northeastern Nigeria.
Open Doors USA sources confirmed that the gunmen separated the Christian students from the Muslim students, addressed each victim by name, questioned them, and then proceeded to shoot them or slit their throat.
Response: The violence against Christians continues unabated in Nigeria. Every week Christians are killed by radical Islamists somewhere in Nigeria. Last week a Catholic Church was bombed by a Muslim suicide bomber with 2 dead and over 40 injured. This week dozens of Christian students are singled out for execution by radical Islamists of the Boko Haram group. Rarely is any of it covered by the Western MSM.
The situation seems to be totally out of control and bordering on civil war leaving the government looking rather inept. This is a good time to pray for the Christians in Nigeria. The Christian mission group- Open Doors is calling on Christian believers all around the world to pray for Nigeria and a “change of heart” for the Islamist radicals of the Boko Haram. *Top
