Nigeria : 22 die in separate attacks

(Vatican Radio) At least 22 people have been killed in three separate attacks in northeastern Nigeria since Friday, including 15 Christians shot yesterday inside a church.

The violence began early Friday when unidentified gunmen raided a village in Musari, in Borno state, killing five people.

Also Friday, gunmen with suspected ties to the Islamist militant group Boko Haram killed two people and wounded another in an attack on Maiha prison. 35 prisoners were set free.

In Sunday's attack, gunmen entered a church in Chibok, also in Borno state, and killed at least 15 worshipers.

It is not immediately known whether the group was behind the latest attacks.
