Communal violence turns deadly in Nigeria
- 10 years ago
Eight people have been killed in religious violence in Nigeria, including a Christian family of seven, while a
roadside bomb has killed seven others in an area known for Boko Haram activity.
The two incidents on Friday followed a deadly attack on a Catholic church last weekend, which killed more than 60 people and raised fresh questions about the government's strategy to end the bloodshed and revamp the military.
Boko Haram is an armed group fighting against Western influence in the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria, where it wants to set up an Islamic state .
