Islamic militants in Nigeria continued terrorizing
civilians last week, setting fire to a locked boy’s dormitory and other
buildings at the Federal Government College in Buni Yadi. Fifty-nine
people died in the attack.
Although the school was not Christian, some of the victims have been identified as Christians, according to International Christian Concern
(ICC). Emmanuel Ogebe, with the Justice for Jos Project, told ICC that
the school was one of the few public, non-Islamic schools in the region.
“There is a high likelihood that many Christians
attended the school since many northern state governments, like Yobe,
spend public funds on Islamic schools and discourage Christian schools,”
he told ICC.
