The attackers, thought to have been members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), also destroyed a local church building. The Chibok area has experienced ongoing Islamist attacks, in which many Christian women and children have been kidnapped. Pray that Christians in this area will experience peace and hope in Christ despite these brutal attacks.
