Gunmen killed four Christians in southern Nigeria
Unidentified gunmen attacked Christians in Bayelsa State on the 5th of August. The attackers killed at least four Christians who were in the local church of Azikoro village.
As the attackers fled, they also injured several others, destroyed nearby houses, and burned the church and several cars.
The four fatalities of the attack were a couple named Gabriel and Uchechukwu as well as two other worshipers named Alfred and Imomotimi.
The day following the attack, the Commissioner of Police said that his staff would give priority to catching those who had conducted this heinous attack.
These kinds of attacks are not very common in southern Nigeria, but there have been other attacks on Christians by cultists, who often use people in their rituals.
