A shocking video released by Boko Haram in October shows the beheading of four civilians in Borno State, Nigeria.
At least one of the victims was a Christian, a young woman who was the niece of one of the fighters who abducted her.
The fighter justified taking part in the killing by explaining, “We do not share the same faith as her.”
The terrorists also declared that they would intensify their attacks in the region.
Boko Haram has been operating in Nigeria for more than 10 years. In April 2014 they infamously abducted 276 girls, mostly Christians, from a secondary school in Chibok, Borno State.
Boko Haram are just one of the Islamist groups active in northern and Middle Belt Nigeria.
On 10 November fighters from Islamic State West Africa Province attacked a Christian village in Chibok, burning down several homes.
How you can pray
Pray that the Lord will comfort all those affected by this brutal atrocity, and that He will bring an end to the terrorist violence in Nigeria.
