KADUNA (Reuters) – Gunmen opened fire on Muslim worshippers as they were leaving a mosque in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing at least 20 people, a local official said.
The attack happened in a remote village called Dogo Dawa, in Kaduna state, said Abdullahi Muhammad, the traditional ruler and councillor of Birnin Gwari, a local government area next door to the village.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Like much of northern Nigeria, Kaduna is plagued by an insurgency led by radical Islamist sect Boko Haram. They usually attack security forces, government officials or Christians, but have hit Muslim clerics and mosques in the past, especially ones that do not follow their hardline brand of Islam.
Kaduna also lies close to Nigeria’s volatile “Middle Belt”, where Nigeria’s mostly Muslim north and largely Christian south meet, and where tensions over land and ethnicity often erupt into violence.
musturds, they died, how sad, never mind, move on.
This depends on what brand of Islam they followed and who killed them, if it was radical hard liners this gives us a chance to use the attack against them.
they were imams who wouldn’t fall in line with Boko Haram and so they killed them. This was part of the new caliphate making sure that all mustards are in line with the program
Thank you, I wondered about that very scenario, this is why the moderate Moslems remain silent, they don’t want to be murdered.
Those socalled moderates of Islam would continue to fight among themselves while they demand endless special privileges for their islamic community. It is best their islamic community solve their own infighting problems, whether it is related to racidal islamic or socalled moderate islamic agenda.
As long as they just keep knocking off each other I will find it hard to complain.
