Fifteen Christians killed in Nigerian church

(Vatican Radio) In Nigera, 15 Christians were shot inside a church yesterday, the latest in a series of attacks in the northeastern part of the country. The church was in Chibok, in Borno state. The Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram is suspected in the attack.

“It has really been terrible,” said Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, the Archbishop of Jos. We cannot be overcome by fear and the violence of these evil people.

He told Vatican Radio the Christians of Nigeria will persevere.

“Their aim is to succeed to destroy the Christian faith, and we are convinced this is not possible, because our faith is a gift from God,” he said.
