Militants slit throats of 15 Christians in Nigeria
Earlier, Lt Col Sagir Musa, a spokesman of the military Joint Task Force deployed by the government to fight terrorism in the area, had given the number of those killed as five. But a resident confirmed the number of persons killed by the suspected militants as 15. Boko Haram says it is fighting to install Islamic Sharia rule in Africa’s top oil producing country.
The country though a secular state, has two major religions; Islam and Christianity. Christians are found mainly in the south while Muslims are predominant in the north but they share the 150 million population of the country on roughly equal proportion.
