Christians in Nigeria considering fleeing after latest attack

Saturday, January 7, 2012

At least 17 people have been killed in another attack on Christian communities in Nigeria.

The Christian Igbo group was meeting in a town hall in Mubi when gunmen burst in and opened fire.

It caps a week of deadly attacks on Christians in the predominantly Muslim north. The surge in violence coincides with the expiration of the Wednesday deadline for Christians to leave the region that was set by Islamist militant group Boko Haram.

Hours after the deadline expired, gunmen attacked a Christian compound in the Yobe state capital of Damaturu, killing two people and wounding several others. the rest
