According to reports, Boko Haram militants are
beheading young men in the Christian community in
Gwoza, the Borno town that the insurgent group
recently took over and declared an Islamic caliphate.

Sources from the town claim that Christian men who
refuse to convert to Islam are being beheaded while
the women are being forced into marriages with the
insurgents.

“It is quite clear that terrorism has no friend, but
it is abundantly clear that the Christians are worst
hit. The whole town and the Parish rectory have
been occupied by the terrorists. So many structures and items have been vandalized.

Dozens have been killed and a lot of church structures have been burnt down. Christians in
the town are really in a terrible situation, a moment of great persecution. Christian men were
caught and beheaded, the women were forced to become Muslims and were taken as wives to the
terrorists.” Rev. Fr. Gideon Obasogie, the social
communications director of the catholic diocese of Maiduguri said. Continue…

“It might surprise you to know that no one knows
the state of affairs in this terrorist zone. The houses of Christians that have fled are now
occupied by the ‘haramists’. Their cars are used by the terrorists,” Rev Obasogie said.

He also said Boko Haram sympathizers in Gwoza
showed the militants homes belonging to Christians
and even showed them where some of the Christians
went to hide when the killing began. They were fished
out and killed.
