~Gunmen kill five in latest attack on Nigerian church~ Gunmen kill five in latest attack on Nigerian church In response to the escalating violence, President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in four states. Gunmen burst into a church in northern Nigeria on Thursday, killing at least five people in the latest attack of a coordinated campaign against the country's Christians. The assault came after a warning by the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram, which said it would begin attacking Christian civilians if they did not flee the predominantly Muslim north by Wednesday night. Pastor Johnson Jauro said that several men attacked his Deeper Life Church in Gombe during a prayer service, killing five worshippers including his wife. "I was leading the congregation in prayers. Our eyes were closed when some gunmen stormed the church and opened fire on the congregation," he said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but suspicion fell on Boko Haram, which has killed more than 500 people in the last year including at least 50 who died in a church bombing near the capital Abuja on Christmas Day.....dey don coome again!
