Christmas Day - three targeting churches including one that killed at
least 27 people - raising fears that they are trying to ignite
sectarian civil war.
The Boko Haram Islamist sect, which aims to impose sharia law across
the country, claimed responsibility for the three church bombs, the
second Christmas in a row the group has caused mass carnage with
deadly bombings of churches. Security forces also blamed the sect for
two other blasts in the north.
St Theresa's Catholic Church in Madala, a satellite town about 40 km
(25 miles) from the center of the capital Abuja, was packed when the
bomb exploded just outside.
"We were in the church with my family when we heard the explosion. I
just ran out," Timothy Onyekwere told Reuters. "Now I don't even know
where my children or my wife are. I don't know how many were killed
but there were many dead."
Amos 5:24- But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a
mighty stream
Psalm 50:16- But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to
declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy
mouth?
