Nigeria's Christians fear persecution from Boko Haram rampage
Lagos (AFP) - Christians in northeast Nigeria are paying a heavy price at the hands of Boko Haram, even if they are not being targeted specifically by the militants in their bloody quest for an Islamic state.
Madagali in Adamawa has a large number of Christians and was overrun last week. The Islamists also seized Gulak, the headquarters of Madagali local government council, this weekend.
The Islamists vandalised and destroyed churches and church buildings and singled out Christians who remained, according to residents.
