Members of Islamic extremist group Boko Haram on August 30 killed five Christians in Borno State, Nigeria, and three others in another area of the state on August 31, the Christian Daily webite reports today (Sept. 7, 2025).
The terrorists killed five Christians working on their farms in Nogoshe Village, Gwoza County, and on Aug. 31 attacked Mussa Village in Askira County, killing three Christians as they slept in their homes, said area resident Hauwa Samuel.
"Chrisians here have continued to face challenges from constant threats and attacks from Boko Haram terrorists,"Samuel said.
A member of Nigeria's National Assembly, Sen.Mohammed Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, said Boko Haram miiitants also burned dozens of houses in the Aug. 31 attack.
"I am profoundly saddened by these senseless killings," Ndume said in a statement. "Our people, whose only pursuit is peace and livelihood, continue to fall victim to the cruelty of insurgents. These men and women deserved to live, to farm, and to dream, but their lives have been cut short by those who thrive on violence."
