Nigeria gunmen 'kill at least five Christians' in Yobe
Gunmen in the northern Nigerian state of Yobe have shot dead at least five
Christians, a human rights worker in the area has told the BBC.
He said that a church in Peri village near Potiskum, the economic capital of
Yobe, was set on fire in an attack late on Christmas Eve.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the killings.
But the Boko Haram Islamist militant group has targeted a number of churches in
the north since 2010.
It has killed hundreds in its campaign to impose Sharia law.
A series of bomb attacks carried out by the group at Christmas 2011 - including
two at Christmas Day church services - left almost 40 people dead and many more
injured.
'Savage acts of terrorism'
Network for Justice head Zakari Adamu said that the gunmen also attacked the
homes of Christians following the attack during the midnight mass service.
The AFP news agency reported that the pastor of the church - a branch of the
Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) - is among the dead.
The attack comes on the same day that the Pope - as part of his Christmas Day
address - prayed for harmony in Nigeria, lamenting what he called "savage acts
of terrorism" that frequently target Christians.
The head of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Yobe, Idi Garba, told AFP
that many worshippers at ECWA "are still missing".
"I have been informed that six bodies have been recovered," Mr Garba said.
He said that some worshippers who lived near the church "fled their homes
during the attack and it is assumed that they are still hiding in the bush".
Correspondents says that while Yobe's population is overwhelmingly Muslim,
Potiskum has a significant Christian minority. Peri is just 2km (1.24 miles)
outside the city.
Boko Haram has been able to carry out so many attacks in Yobe because it
borders Borno state where the insurgent group is based.
Nigeria is Africa's most populous state and its biggest oil producer. Most
people in the south are Christian, whereas the north has a Muslim majority.
